This bottle is interesting. It's ever so slightly shorter and stubbier than normal, but still contains the standard 750 mL. The foil is slightly harder to remove than usual, but the cork, though artificial, is easy to remove. The cork is black, which I've never seen before.
As for the wine itself, it's very well-balanced - it's fruity/buttery/oaky in equal measures, and whichever taste you're looking for tends to emphasize itself. It also has a little hint of that "tangy zip" (I don't know what it's really called - is it dryness? acidity?) that you often find in white wines, but you do have to look for it. It keeps you from gulping the wine down, but you don't actually notice that it's doing this.
This is a very archetypal chardonnay - the sort of thing you expect to get when you go to a patio and order a glass of white wine to sip as you watch the world go by.
