Monday, January 23, 2023 - 2017 Walter Hansel Chardonnay Cuvée Alyce
Cellared since acquisition from winery
PNP 1/16/2023
Deep gold in color with thick legs. A nose of vanilla, honeysuckle, and white peach.
Lush In the mouth, with flavors of vanilla, honeysuckle and a wisp of white peach. The acid was a little on the light side, but the finish was approximately 20 seconds. An unmistakable Russian river valley Chardonnay, that was pleasant to drink over 3 nights (vacuvined and chilled).
92 points.
