  Kendrick’s Wine Club (67 Pall Mall, London): A very pretty surprise and way off the overdone expressions of Napa Oaky Chardonnay, don’t get us wrong this is a Napa Wine for sure with the ripeness and the weight to go along but the wine is made with a light hand , the oak is there to complement and kudos to the winemaking at age 14 now drinks effortlessly beautiful and with an elegance. In a way a richer feel of a Chablis at times or maybe a bolder Meursault? Either way very good and worthy 93. The wine has easily another 10 years of life.

  Nose of lemon and pear. Mild acidity, nice balance and moderate finish. Chablis like texture, great expression of Chardonnay.

  Different than the bottle I had in May. More orchard fruit than melon which made it a little harsher. The finish was moderate. I was defintely not a fan last night. Other people liked hence the 88. I believe that when it was getting all the high marks it was in its prime drinking window but think maybe it left that window and is heading to the other side. I have already had one flawed bottle. I believe I have two bottles left in my cellar and I wont wait a long time to drink them.

  I opened a bottle for a thursday late afternoon virtual office happy hour. This time it was more successful than the bottle I opened wednesday night which was oxidized. This is a very nice chardonnay with white fruit on the nose and a palate of peach and melon. Finish was moderate. My wife and I each had a nice glass and the balance went into the sauce for the Braised swordfish with olives and capers. As I said it is a nice chardonnay but I do not see the 93's and 94's that are being given.
