Töövi Chardonnay 2010

Crushpad Chardonnay Töövi Cloudbreak Vineyard 2010
So different and so much better than my earlier bottle that I can only infer that the last bottle must have been somehow flawed in an un-obvious way. On first sniff, this has clear Chardonnay aromas untainted by oak. But it is very ripe, even sweet smelling. There is a touch of reduction, but nothing like there was with the earlier bottle. Rich, crisp, sweet, ripe fruit, light on its feet, moreish - a nice bunch of paradoxes on the palate. Good stuff! Not Chablis, but not all unoaked Chardonnay should be.
