Tasting Our 2019 Chardonnay

Last night, we tasted the third experiment of our 2019 Chardonnay where we fermented small batches with three different yeasts. We used X16, D47 and CH9 to do the fermentations and so far we have tasted the X16, D47 and last night we tasted our Chardonnay fermented with CH9.
When we bottled the CH9, we were surprised that there was very little aroma compared with the X16 and the D47. But last night we did detect a bit more aroma developing in the bottle. I thought it smelled a bit like anise. We paired the Chardonnay with chicken in a creamed sun-dried tomato sauce over gnocchi. Yum.
