Medium golden yellow; attractive, forward, toasty, buttery, complex ripe Chardonnay fruit aroma with overtones of hazelnut, butterscotch, and orange rind; full body; big, rich, fat, high-extract, buttery, nutty, viscous, mouth filling, ripe pear and butterscotch flavors with overtones of toasty charred oak; slightly harsh on the finish; lingering aftertaste. Deserves another year or two of bottle aging to mature. Very highly recommended.
