| In its native New Zealand, The King's Legacy is dubbed \"The King's Bastard.\" TASTING NOTE: Sporting a very sophisticated, understatedly classy nose, the 2015 The King's Bastard Chardonnay offers notes of white peaches, toasted almonds and ginger with a yeasty undercurrent. Medium-bodied with a silken texture, it gives a good intensity of savory and stone fruit flavors, finishing long with a spicy kick. Drink Date: 2016- 2020. Score - 90 (Lisa Perrotti-Brown, MW, robertparker.com, Dec. 30, 2016) |
