Queen Taken Chardonnay 2018, Oliver, BC - Checkmate Artisanal Winery
Tasting Notes Kai Chang 2022-02-24 Tasting Notes Kai Chang 2022-02-24

Queen Taken Chardonnay 2018, Oliver, BC - Checkmate Artisanal Winery

Pale lemon colour, bright and crisp showing some sense of viscosity
It’s gracefully fragrant

At first I had over-chilled the bottle so it was very conservative at first. It slowly blossomed into something quite spectacular. Like a masked skilled dancer telling a rich story through perfectly executed and expressive movements.

Silent Partner Cabernet Franc - Red Barn at Jagged Rock

Very good quality, well balanced, it’s like a classic, tasteful, well-produced burlesque show. Vogue.

Drink now, may improve with 3-5 years of cellaring. I would love to see how the flavours will evolve with the tannins it has.

Was immediately captured by its beauty! I had to do a double take and a step backwards absolutely in awe. Outstanding quality, very well balanced, even at 14.9%, it was beautifully balanced and glamorous. Drink now but can develop for 3-5 years.
