Community Tasting Notes 24

  February 17, 2019 - My last of 6 bottles, and was worried this would be past its prime. I think this is still drinking great, if not better than in its youth. Honey, pears and some rocks. Acidity is not lacking at all (as I thought it was when younger). Much more subtle as well although the fruit is still strong. Long finish. A very pleasant surprise

  August 19, 2018 - Goldgelber Chardonnay aus dem Piemont. Der 2005er ist mit 14.5 Volumenprozent eher auf der alkoholischen Seite, jedoch durch die Jahre und die Reifung ist der Alkohol wunderbar eingebunden.
  In der Nase intensive Caramelnote, oder noch präziser, caramelisierte Ananas. Die Ananas bleibt auch im Gaumen, ebenso der geröstete Zucker. Lang im Abgang, mit undefinierbarer Bitternote. Insgesamt sehr fein. Ist jetzt auf dem Zenit.

  October 23, 2015 - This wine continues to impress me. Beautiful golden color. The nose is just fantastic! Coconut oil dominates the aromas. Velvety and great body. The finish lasts for years!

  April 15, 2013 - Very enjoyable as usual. Typical petrol, oak and mineral notes with a nice palate. My last '05.

  December 23, 2012 - Quite deep lemony color. Oak dominates the nose with creamy notes, vanilla powder, wood and tropical fruit. There was also a slight varnish aroma. Still very youthfull. Full bodied with medium acidity, creamy mouthfeel and clean aftertaste. Heavily oaked with use of new oak but if you like the style it was good. More like a California Chardonnay.
