Expert review
OUTSTANDING: this is also aromatically quite pretty with its array of oyster shell, iodine, tidal pool and petrol scents along with more prominent floral nuances. The gorgeously textured and quite punchy middle weight flavors are even more mineral-inflected than usual while delivering excellent length on the balanced and chalky finish that is slightly firmer. This lemony effort is altogether lovely and while certainly promising, I suspect that it could be approached after only 3 to 4 years if desired.
Chardonnay
One of the most planted, versatile and popular white varieties in the world. As a stand alone grape, Chardonnay is not the most interesting, nor complex varietal out there...but in the hands of a great winemaker it can be turned into one of the world's greatest pleasures! From the best bubbles of Champagne, to the lean, unoaked and mineral expressions of Chablis and the opulent, oaked and complex whites of Burgundy, Chardonnay is responsible for making some of the greatest expressions of white wine on the planet.
