Burgundy, France. Chardonnay. 13%. Cork. Approx $A50.A cloudy day, punctuated by drizzle, but without the sting and bitter cold of winter.
A delicious wine, which seems to possess all the classic white Burgundy traits. Grilled stone fruit and crushed almonds with a pleasing whiff of struck match and a suggestion of marzipan. Intense and satisfyingly searing, it manages to be tight and fleshy at once. Again the flavours are expected, and welcome. Grapefruit, essence and butterscotch, all in correct proportion and order.
Very good - excellent.

Griff and Pluggin,
I dug out the receipt, it was actually $59 and it's from d'Or to Door.
