Community Tasting Note

William Kelley Likes this wine:

Sunday, November 26, 2023 - As I drank the 2018 Giaconda Chardonnay, I found myself wondering if this is the best Chardonnay made in the New World today; and also reflecting on how risk-averse so much contemporary white Burgundy has become. Unwinding in the glass with notes of crisp stone and orchard fruit mingled with accents of citrus zest, hazelnut, gunflint and bread dough, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, with a concentrated core of fruit, tangy acids and a long, precise finish. It's a spectacular wine that I'd kill to own more of.
