MAGNUM!!!! oxidative lemon pasta nose. others call out cheese and bubblegum, but... touch of shale, light lemon, but really more mineral driven on the palate. sinewy but not in the Brandborg Riesling waxiness. Richard claims it's falling off, but i can't really agree.
This dude introduced stainless steel to italian wine making. lemon cream and that sweet sugar of cotton candy. i need to work on this cotton candy i keep getting. work that one out. a little waxy and lemon palate.
rustic, nutty, black liquorice and spicy. wierd chocolate. al-Zabba calls out iron. that's on. there is quite a questionable astringency here. antinori produced.
must and black liquorice. chlorinated. chocolate nose. herbaceous on the palate. potpourri. pretty nice palate for such a decrepit nose. still quite tannic. imagine how unapproachable this must have been. somewhere in there i do find some raisinated fruit notes.
Italy, Tuscany, Montalcino, Brunello di Montalcino
not so expressive on the nose. herbaceous and rose petal. floral with bits of strawberry. Lindsay calls blood orange, ben's in love, but i'mjust not enamored with this wine today.

damn, this is great chardonnay. ripe fruit and elegant use of oak influence. rich pineapple and some smokey oak. tight cheerio. great.
