I might have drunk this too young. Really quite delicious now, especially if you like full on lemon/limey acidity, minerality, salinity, a hint of gunsmoke and some creamy oak. But it feels like all of these elements will develop and knit together better in a year or three, with potential for a 92+ score

88+ Electric juice from Limari that reminds me a lot of Trapi del Bueno's Chilean Patagonian Chardonnay
From a vineyard 12km from the ocean, but on the east side of the coastal mountain range, giving some protection.
Chablis style on the fruit and structure (citrus, zippy, mouthwatering PH of only 3.1), but has a flare of subtle toasted oak. Has the best of both worlds. Could do with a bit more fruit concentration, but this is very classy stuff. Will push past 90+ in a few years for sure.

Very light straw color. Deceptive moderate body and high acidity. Very mild limestone aroma. Limestone terroir really comes out in this wine. But not my style of chardonnay. Oaky chard body with chablis characteristics.

Liked, but also found the acidity and salinity to be a bit too high…
I think this is too young, as it showed good evolution across a few days and opened up a bit.
Won’t provide a veredict at this point, but my guess is it will improve with bottle age.
