Quails' Gate Stewart Family Reserve Chardonnay 1996
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaHuge oak butter nose with some lees and spice in the background. There's a pleasant citrus honey thread on the mid-palate that is completely overwhelmed by the butter oak and acid in the finish. Simply too much wood for us and a waste of good fruit to boot.Tasted: 01 September 1997Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $35.00 | 750ml |
