Bright, light to medium yellow colour. The nose is restrained and reserved, with some tightness, malty oak and herby early-picked hints. There's a trace of earthiness and some waxy notes. It's fairly tight but soft, rounded and clean in the mouth. The finish cuts off a little soon. A wine that is slightly closed and seems to need more time. To get your money's worth, cellar it a while. (Footnote: a day later, the wine had opened up considerably and was showing very good richness and length. An excellent chardonnay.)
