July 11, 2022 - The Pegasus Bay Estate Chardonnay Virtuoso 2013 could have made it to the top of this tasting had the wine's acidity not stood so clearly next to everything else. Actually, on the nose, fine, florally fragrant, highly elegant and a little ethereal. On the palate, the wood, which was still too present five years ago, has integrated excellently. Just not the acidity. It seemed like acidification, which had a damaging effect in the long run. A pity.
