2014 Gantenbein Chardonnay

The 2014 Chardonnay shows an intense golden-yellow color with a lime-greenish shimmer. On the nose, this is a pure, refined and slightly buttery as well as flinty Chardonnay with elegant intensity and notes of green asparagus, stewed chicory and a hint of caramel. On the palate, this is a generous, textural and tight, tense and lush as well as piquant Chardonnay with fine tannins and a long, intense and saline, quite powerful and complex finish with firm tannins. Very intense and still young Chardonnay.
