Killer. Cue the range of superlatives, all of which are appropriate. Well played HB, well played.

Of the bottles purchased together off WineBid, there’s been some variation - some have come off like a solid Bourgogne blanc. This one, however, is one of the better bottles. With intense lemon zest, lightly toasted almond, Meyer lemon, ripe pear, and tart green apple framed by slight oak perfume, it’s reminiscent of a well-made Meursault, if somewhat lighter in body. Exceptional value!

Overa few days. First Niagara Chardonnay I’ve had in years Oak impact persists but is pleasant given good acidity and lemonfruit. I assume little or no mlf to arrive at this balance

Crisp and fine with depth and good length. Sensational bargain @ $10 plus buyer's premium from WineBid.

light yellow, watery rim; lemon, green apple, whiff of toast; citrus, minerality; medium body, good acidity, 13% ABV; surprising for Chardonnay from Canada

Assez gras, belle tenue, un peu d'agrumes.

Quite primary right now and will get better in couple of years. Oak and buttery complemented by nice acidity. Better on second day.

Apple, cinnamon, nutmeg and toast nose. Medium bodied, complex and integrated on the palate. Long evolving finish. 4/5
