| TASTING NOTE: Though it might be natural to look to France for a finely French-oaked Chardonnay, you don't have to. This legendary Chardonnay shows how French oak can add character without masking the fruit itself. Both intense and subtle, this masterful white starts with the scent of warm apple pie that leads to a rich, plunging attack, the entry is silky and articulate, insinuating pineapple, apple, flint, hazelnut, pecan, brioche and cream. Lovely stuff. Score - 95 (Carolyn Evans Hammond, Toronto Star, June 4, 2016) |
