2012 Gantenbein Chardonnay

The citrus-yellow colored 2012 Chardonnay is bright and delicate on the nose, with white caramel and pure, delicate slate aromas. Tight and fresh on the palate, this is a concentrated and powerful but also very mineral Chardonnay, and it is still a baby. The long, mineral finish is pure, piquant and salty, revealing very fine tannins and a tight structure. Very long. Tasted November 2018.
