WTN: 2008 Vestini Chardonnay

This was an unusual Chardonnay. The question mark is because I am wondering if this was oxidized. I had a glass of this at the recommendation of the server at Il Palio Restaurant in the Siena Hotel, Chapel Hill, to go with tagliatelle with black truffle pesto and the bottle could have been open for a while. The wine had a burnished old gold color which seemed dark for a 2008 vintage. I asked the server and he said the wine distributor said the color had something to do with the malolactic fermentation and he also said it was fermented in stainless steel. Although I suspected that it might be slightly oxidized, the wine had an interesting taste with petrol or lanolin on the nose and a bit of green apple. Transparent in the glass. Acidic and a bit pungent.
