(Dumol Isobel Chardonnay) #1; COLOR-medium golden; NOSE-this is a BIG nose; huge oak; big apple flavors; a little bit of creaminess; some pencil shavings coming through; a little Crème Brulee; very aromatically exciting; PALATE-Wow; it's got this immense honey viscosity; it's very thick; big mouthfeel; good solid structure and backbone; fresh; beautiful fig flavors integrated w/ melon/cantaloupe action; a beautiful baked apple pie and a little scoop of soft creamy butter on the back-end; I like this; very well made; this really stands up to many $50-$70 White Burgs; RP-94/96; GV-92+
