Nelson Creek, Estate Chardonnay, Paarl, South Africa, 2014

Tasted by:
(at Decanter's April 2017 issue South African Chardonnay over £7.99 Tasting, 30 Nov 2016)
Drinking Window: 2017 - 2017
The nose is waxy and heavy, with hints of green fig and butterscotch. Rich, toasty and honeyed on the palate, there is plenty of oak influence. Despite the relatively low 13% alcohol, this is ponderous and rather tired.
