Dark Horse The Original Chardonnay 2017, California, USA

Big, bold and plump rounded bouquet of Chardonnay with aromas of ripe California peach and sweet red apple, vanilla custard and toasted barrel. Plenty of baking spices and tobacco wood ideas. Equally bold on the palate with flavours that mirror the nose - oak in the lead with toast, vanilla and bourbon-like flavours then peaches, tree fruits and custard. A full-bodied wine with medium acidity, lengthy finish and quite classically Californian. Drink now and through 2022.
