Community Tasting Note

vagrantone Likes this wine:

Monday, June 22, 2020 - Opened this bottle with not a little trepidation...
Given the history with premox, we were prepared for the worst and already had an alternative wine ready.
However, there was no premox at all in this bottle. The cork, while almost soaked hrough, had done its job.
The hue was perfectly acceptable for a 24 year old Chardonnay with a light golden aspect.
The aromas confirmed that this bottle had not suffered: great purity and intensity of aromas all supported by a very solid acid backbone providing freshness. The aromas were ranging from citrus to orange blossoms with just a whiff of butter and a saline, mineral streak as well. Beautiful texture providing roundness, focus, length all at the same time.
I plan to drink remaining bottles over next couple of years.
