The nose of the 2006 Chardonnay is showing a combination of peach and melon fruits with a hint of citrus, This carries through to the tight minerally but well balanced finish. The oak treatment is obvious but subtle ensuing the wine has a soft lingering mouthfeel. Cellaring potential 10 years plus. Aromas of peach and oatmeal, hints of green fruits, ripe pear and honeyed lemon, quite complex really, and very , very alluring. I love being able to swirl a glass of wine and find all sorts of smells, ever changing. The palate is ripe, with lemon and oatmeal, texturally quite chewy, with soft lemony acids and sour musky fruits on the finish. A nicely balanced and elegant wine.
