Y Rousseau Chardonnay Milady

Second bottle, and whereas most of the tropical fruit aromas and flavors and creamy notes persist, the alcohol comes off as really abrasive and intrusive. It totally takes away from the fruit and other characteristics of the wine. I am biased toward leaner wines, but usually at least appreciate what these bigger wines are trying to do. This is just too ripe.

Gold. Very ripe tropical nose of pineapple and mango. Creamy and chock full of ripe fruit. Enjoyable, well made, nothing exciting. Some warmth in the mouthfeel but otherwise balanced.
