85

80 to 84 good
85 to 89 very good
90 to 94 excellent
95 to 100 outstanding
The wood integration is a bit clumsy here, leaving dominant smoky and toasty flavours
overtop chardonnay apple and peach aromas. The wine is mid-weight, with fairly good acidity and alcohol balance; some bitterness and oak caramel on
the finish. LCBO 43570
