Bright, medium-full yellow colour; smoky reduction is the first aroma, then come roasted hazelnuts, spices, and lightly toasted bread, lightly buttered. Then the palate hits with resounding impact: it's very rich and fruit-sweet, profound and mouth-filling. A full-bodied, super-rich, plump wine with terrific length and a long-lasting and harmonious aftertaste. Impressive chardonnay at the more opulent end of the style spectrum.
