Thanks for the note Todd. I didn’t get the offensive smell, though as I mentionned a nose on the oxydative leesy side of things. I suppose wines, like wine tasters, have their bad days 😉

I just had opportunity to stop at Trinity Hills in Hawks Bay for a tasting while in Napier on business. Overall the offerings were delicious. However, I found the nose of this Chardonnay offensive. Like oak ripened in lanolin or sheep dung. Though the taste bettered its nose, the nose was very hard getting past. The pourer mentioned that there were others that found the nose “different”.
