O:TU

O:TU Single Vineyard Chardonnay Marlborough 2013 13%
Gentle  creamy peachy bouquet unfurls quite slowly; as the wine begins to open up it reveals more sweet delicate vanillin aromas, apples, pears and mild stone fruit attributes; quietly elegant.
On the palate - dry with lots of youthful creamy oak flavors, medium+ acidity and a youthful chomp of oak as the wine takes hold; a very engaging wine very much in the throws of its early bottle development - so perhaps keep it for a few months more to settle in. That said there are flavors of lemon and citrus, apple and peach; medium+ length and finish. All the potential is there, just needs some time.
3.5 Stars
