TN: Cape Grace Chardonnay 2017

G'day
I buy this wine from time to time, and 2023s are currently on the way to my home.
Medium to deep yellow in colour. A little truck match on the nose, followed by considerable fruit - nectarine in particular. Oak has settled into the background.
The palate follows much the same line - nectarine and peach dominate the palate, with oak and acid both in support. There's a noticeable creamy texture to the palate, which is quite full and round. Reasonable length, especially from a cooler vintage.
I suspect this will hold for a while, but may not improve greatly.
Cheers
Allan
