Community Tasting Note

  • t_moderne wrote: 89 points

    July 31, 2020 - Opened, poured a taste, and the enjoyed about 30 minutes later.
    Light golden color.
    Nose offers lemon peel and lemon oil.
    Deep, rich lemon peel/lemon curd on the intro. Shows some white peach and green apple.
    There is a glycerin element that gives a rich mouthfeel. Thought it could be the alcohol, but the label states 13.5%.
    Some hint of oak is mixed in. The wine has a richness to it when other Rhys chardonnays I have enjoyed showed more of a racy, tense profile. This leans towards a richer, oak driven style.
    Enjoyable, but not what I expected from an Alpine Vyd Rhys Chardonnay.
