Another Chilean Chardonnay, but not as nice

My mom, my Partner in Tasting (PIT) and I tried another Chilean Chardonnay, a 2003 Calina, the other night and I have to say that it didn't make me as happy as the Yelcho did. I prefer the cooler, crisper, dryer whites and this wine was more of a traditional big Chardonnay. It had a flowery nose, apple and tropical fruit in the mouth, and an OK finish, but overall I found it too sweet and heavy on the fruit and alcohol. "It's pleasing," my mom said. She is more tolerant of bigger Chardonnay. "Not a distinct taste to grab you between the toes," she added. (Hunh???? I guess we will add that to the beam description. Not a taste that grabbed you on the beam.)
My husband, not big on the words this night, called the wine harmless. I had a half glass. They finished the bottle.
Eh, if I am going to justify a second it's got to curl my toes just a little (even grab them!)

I do, however, want to go back for some more Yelcho, which was cheaper and much more quaffable (HA!)
