Tasting - Old Coach Road Chardonnay


Name: Old Road Coach Chardonnay
Variety: Chardonnay (50% oaked, 50% unoaked)
Country: Nelson, New Zealand
Year: 2009
Price: $14.95

Vintage Cellar Review: This is a delightfully satisfying wine full of ripe chardonnay fruit characters intertwined with smooth, supple, spicy oak.  The palate is full and textured, with clear definition and long lasting flavours.

My Review: This wine smelled floral.  When tasting the wine it tasted floral as well, there were also tastes of dark fruits.  The after taste of this wine contained the oaky flavor from the barrel.  The body of this wine was fuller than that of the Sauvignon Blanc tasted before it.
