  A tribute to the Denogent Chardonnays is that I always gravitate toward drinking the oldest ones, because they keep improving with age. This 2004 has now entered the pantheon of great ones. Light yellow color, with no oxidative brown. Richly textured and caressing, bright yet smooth acidity, and lovely lemon citrus. The star wine with Scottish salmon.

  Like the Denogent wines in general, this wine needs at least a decade of bottle age to begin to show its greatness, and if chilled, gets better in the glass as the wine warms. The lightest shade of yellow. Honeysuckle and citrus in the nose. Dense, rich and caressing in the mouth, with lovely lemon oil, zest, and juice, and a delicate French oak polish. So mouth coating that the finish is almost unendingly savory. One great improvement over the young wine is that the alcohol is integrated, with no disjointed lighter fluid in the nose and no separate alcoholic burn in the mouth or swallow. By far the best this 2004 has ever tasted, and not yet at its peak.
