Buttery and a bit of a soapy nose. Do decant your wine! The butteriness was toned down a lot after it was decanted. On the palate, it was sweet and sour, a bit of lemon a pear, and soap. Still some butteriness I don't like, but not nearly as much as some Chardonays I've had in the past. I give this one an 83.

Write your comments here. The initial tasting of this particular wine had a very disagreeable odor of gasoline/motor oil that was confirmed when another person tasted it as well. This is the first bottle of Banrock Station wine that we felt was undrinkable. In general Banrock Station wines are quite acceptable for their price, and often even bargains. Perhaps I just got a bad bottle, but I'm reluctant to buy another when their are so many other bargain wines available.
