Some wines announce themselves with shouts and bombast. Others, like this exceptional Chardonnay speak softly, if you are not paying attention you could miss it. Opened up beautifully as it warmed on the glass. Focused, firm acidity and minerality, great length. Happy to have had a chance to taste it. — 9 years ago
