L'Ormarins Chardonnay 2009
Citrus, almond and nutty flavours are well underlined by eight months of wood-ageing in French oak enhanced by a good natural acid and integrated wood.

This well-balanced, elegant wine with hints of oak spiciness features enticing citrus aromas. Overt 07 ripe butterscotch & oak vanilla; bit predictable, needs jolt of excitement for higher rating. Full malo, 8 mths Fr brls. (Platter 2009) "Clean and fresh, with honeysuckle, yellow apple and butter notes that show good length on the finish. A very friendly style. Drink now. 1,550 cases made." Wine Spectator Insider May 31, 2008 88 points A complex chardonnay made in a fresher style. This wine shows a fresh lemon and lime based palate followed by a delicate hint of vanilla to round of an elegant, fresh and enjoyable wine. 08 similar to overtly oaked 07; nutty notes, faint citrus appeal, rounded mouthfeel. 8 mths Fr brls 55% new.
