2017 Kosta Browne Chardonnay Cerise Vineyard

Anderson Valley more

1/12/2021 - Thralow Likes this wine: 95 points

So I received a gift of Blackbox Chardonnay. The equivalent of six bottles in two boxes! I think they were making fun of me, but I have been drinking it since before Christmas. Not a bad wine and sure is easy to keep in the fridge. Finally, yesterday it's gone. Time to open this Kosta Browne. Wow! It's like being a virgin again—so much concentration, depth, length, width, and I began to sing:

It feels like the first time.
(It feels like the very first time) Don'tcha know it feels
(It feels like the first time) Oh yeah, it feels like the first time
(It feels like the very first time)

It probably only a 94, but it felt like 100.

This wine, as old as I am, could be a 99. I don't usually drink wine this age. So I have little experience to compare. But I have drunk many a 98-100 point wine, and this was as enjoyable. One bottle left.

2005 Newton Chardonnay Unfiltered

Napa Valley more

I continue the Quarantine tour of old Chardonnays. This one was harvested fifteen years ago - 2005! The world was a different place. The housing market was booming, and this wine still has that excitement—what a beautiful surprise. Fruity and now with the added complexity of age. It's as old as my daughter and without dissonant raging. The symphony of this wine is much more relaxing than the cacophony of hers.
