Tasting - Torrent Bay Chardonnay

Name: Torrent Bay
Variety: Chardonnay
Region: Nelson
Country: New Zealand
Year: 2009
Price: $6.95

Critic Review: Fleshy, melony aromas cuddle some fresh oak. The palate has decent acidity so there’s freshness along with weight, resiny oak flavors, lemon and green apple.

My Review:  This wine had a very weird and unpleasant aroma, a little bit like dirty laundry.  I could definitely feel the heat coming through when tasting.  It had a smoky and oak-like aftertaste, but it was very short-lived.  I did not care for the aroma or taste of this wine. I didn't taste this wine with food.
