CONCLUSIONS

I found the following vivino review useful:
1) If you like a full blown wooded new world Chardonnay than this is your cup of tea… Gun flint and new oak backed by citrus and some butter. The crisp minerality is nice but the oak is somewhat overdone for my taste buds.
2) typische chardonnay. Grapefruit, limoen, butterscotch, vanille en perzik.
