| Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
CHÂTEAU DES CHARMES |
| Light yellow colour. Spicy, complex, tasty, nutty nose with ripe lemon-melon-apple notes. Dry, medium bodied, bright, quite well structured, slightly spicy, ripe pear flavours with a lingering, slightly toasty finish. Perhaps even a bit better than the recommended 2006 (**/**+) released on October 24, 2009 at $19.95. |

A Best Buy |
| TASTING NOTE: Quality oaked Chardonnay that shows a very deft hand in the winery. Medium-gold colour with aromas of toast, tropical fruit, banana bread and spice cupboard. Dry with a dramatic toast/fruit combo that works wonderfully. Nice acidity, too, to help give this wine impeccable structure. Full bodied with a very long finish. An excellent example of New World oaked Chardonnay. Enjoy it tonight with barbecued chicken, or portobello mushrooms with a dash of balsamic vinegar. (Vintages panel, June 2010) |
