88 Points

Monday, January 2, 2012 - Back on course after two very disappointing bottles; the only question is - on course to where? What was once a dead ringer for a lean mineral Chablis has turned into a fat New World mega-oaked Chardonnay look-alike (of course the grape tastes different, I'm taking about the style here). Intense barrique, lemon, butter, fat scent. Broad creamy entry with just enough minerality to keep it alive, thins out considerably on the mid-palate (Verdejo just isn't Chardonnay...) leaving the finish short-medium, not unpleasant, but definitely truncated, a kind of grey hole... 88P(?)
