This barrel-fermented Chardonnay shows smoky new oak and telltale matchstick leesy aromas. Real spiciness comes through on the palate. The apple fruit wears strong clove, nutmeg and butterscotch notes. There's a firm acid backbone that's lively, but slightly jarring to some tasters. Give this one four to six months to knit itself together.
