A big, oaky Chardonnay, obviously rich and dense, but somewhat immature. Just doesn’t feel like all the parts are working in harmony quite yet. Yet there’s lots going on under the dryness, lees and wood tannins. Huge flavors of citrus and tropical fruits, minerals and flowers. Flashy, a crowd-pleaser. Give it 2–3 years in a cool cellar.——S.H.(5/1/2011)—— 93
