  Absolutely love these older Kalin wines. Bottle was in excellent condition and drank very well. Plenty of fruit left but definitely no point in holding any longer. Drink up if you have any!

  Look, if this ain’t a perfect wine, what is? Massively concentrated and complex. Like Batard mixed with aged Viura. Serve near cellar temp.

  My last of this unusual but delicious Chardonnay. Butterscotch color. Loads of tropical fruits. Drink or hold.

  Cork was wet all the way and broke on removal. The aromas were musty and concerning. Left in bottle for 20 minutes then poured into narrow/tall decanter. Improved with air, but began to thin out after 1 hour. Golden color. Light nose of orange and marzipan. Moderate strength flavors of citrus, butterscotch, and marzipan. Light acid, which became more evident with air. Moderate complexity/finish.

  This wine is certainly not your usual Chardonnay. It was very elegant and expressing tertiary characteristics.
