Note di degustazione
Scented of white peaches, green mango and pineapple with nuances of cedar, cashews, meal and struck match, the 2011 Chardonnay has a lively acid line that illuminates the good core of tropical fruit flavor though the oak is still standing out a bit on the palate. It finishes long and toasty. Drink it now to 2016+. Imported by Moet Hennessy USA, New York, NY

Very telling nose – the oak is much reduced whereas the sulphidic matchstick reduction is played up. This is very much following the path set by trendy Australian Chardonnay. It’s attractive and smooth, but the fruit is pretty tart, and the 14% alcohol doesn’t quite add up with the leanness and reductive style of the palate. (RH)
