  bon, acide, couleur fonfé, probablement trop jeune, car ne comprends pas la facture $$. trop cher pour ce que c'est. un bon montrachet pour le même prix bien devant.

  Catena Zapata is one of the highly regarded estates in Mendoza, known for the Malbec and Chardonnay. This 2011 Catena Zapata White Stones Chardonnay is one of the best whites I have tasted from Argentina, barrel fermented Tasted blind - Chardonnay like but quite certain it wasn’t from Burgundy. Bright lemons and sugary tree fruits, ultra-ripe fruits with creamy lactic body. The fruit concentration and phenolic ripeness reminds me of warm climate Chardonnay, European? (86/100)

  Bright gold colour. A beautiful open nose of grilled hazelnuts, apricot, peach, candied citrus fruit, white flowers...lots going on...complex. Strikingly sharp acidity and salty...rich and full-bodied...expecting more fruit flavours. Long finish. An interesting wine with lots of character...very different...normal for its big price tag? Expected more wow. Enjoyed discovering this wine. 89+

  Tuesday Night Double Blind $40+ (Alpharetta, GA): Dull amber yellow color; beeswax, white flowers, asian pear, lemondrop, kumquat; tart fruit on palate, lemon, apple, good flavors and noble texture; I like many were on Marsanne, called Chante Alouete; well done.

  Nose is getting richer with time in decanter. Toasted bread with pear and white peach preserves. Palate is saline and austere. I was hoping 6 year old would be enough for this cuvee, but clearly it could use more time. High acid, this does have a thick-ish texture and should continue to evolve for several years. 92+ Drink 2018-2021+
