Community Tasting Note

johnrm Likes this wine:

Friday, November 26, 2021 - A good, quite pale, colour. As it warmed, the nose showed refined lemon citrus character with restrained tropical fruit. There was white peach, a hint of cantaloupe melon on the soft, rich palate with beautifully integrated hints of oak and good mouthfeel. It showed very good length and balance with some minerality. It had an understated, subtle character with considerable elegance. Reminiscent, to me, of a high quality Macon Chardonnay.
A fine Chardonnay, well worth keeping for 5 years before tasting (as usual with this wine). Elegant and refined. Good with food but it gave pleasure in its own. 90+
Looking over previous notes and having now tasted this vintage, I cannot recognise the comment from ‘upfromthecellar’ (perhaps an out-of-condition bottle?) or a score of 75 from a poster who nevertheless thought it a ‘solid’ wine (this score appears to have been raised later by the poster). I agree with most commentators who enjoyed the wine. IMO it deserves a higher overall score than the current 86.8 average.
