Chardonnay Trefethen Napa Vallay 2018 @waitroseandpartners Score 91 Oaked chardonnay? Slightly oaked or No oak? Are you in the Anything But Chardonnay crew? I must admit I go for the no oak or slight oak. This wine is on the developing stage for me. A few years and it is going to be amazing. The acidity is a bit powerful at the moment. I had left it over from the night before to let it settle a little and find its feet. Went beautiful with turkey and the trimmings. It has a lovely citrus and tropical flavour with that buttery and toffee flavour notes in the back ground. It is like a young race horse with speed and power but it doesn’t know how to use it yet. Keeping it lying down for a few years will put the blinkers on it Colour 13 Aroma 23 Structure 22 Overall Quality 33 Total 91 Colour Clarity Clear Intensity Pale Colour Lemon Aroma & Palate Pineapple Mango Passionfruit Lemon Grapefruit Lime Vanilla All Spice Bread Butter Crème brûlée Toffee Toast Hay Honey Caramel Structure Developing Complex Sweetness Dry Acidity Medium Alcohol Medium Body Medium Minus Flavour intensity Pronunced Finish Long Quality Outstanding Readiness drink now suitable for further ageing #napawine #napachardonnay #americanwine #waitrosewine #chardonnay #oakknollchardonnay #newworldwine #trefethen #whitewine #winesofscontland #glasgow #wine #edinburgh #glasgowwine #winestagram #scotland #fife #winelover #winetasting #winestudent #instawine #winenerd #winedork #winelover #vino #vin #winelife #winewinewine #winelovers #winetime #whitewine (at Glasgow, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CI2e_VNH5ke/?igshid=123ly87byfqoe
