Tuesday, November 23, 2010 - Spottswoode Vertical (Urbana, Washington, DC): Tones of almond paste, tropical fruits, and a slight nuttiness come across on this dense wine. The palate is rich, complex and balanced. After an hour or so, there was a waxiness that began to develop that was elegant and firm. Candied pears, honeycomb, meyer lemons and chalk flavors meld together creating a deep, complex chardonnay. Overall, this is an outstanding wine that teeters on the edge of elegance and extravagance.
