Popped and poured; consumed over two hours. Beautiful, bright straw color. Very little sign of age, visually. A very pretty bouquet of quince, figs, honeysuckle, almonds and flan. On the palate it's peaches, melon with a touch of almond. Quite a sexy body and the acidity is just perfect. Long finish. Never dropped off. My last of three bottles and the most impressive of the bunch. Time was very kind to this. What a lovely, and frankly impressive, Chardonnay from McElmo.

Sutcliffe Chardonnay is so pleasant! Nice acidity, not overpowering. Maybe a hint of melon and lightly oaked? Who knows. I'm learning. I was hoping for a more energetic expression, but she is a modest girl, i think. Need a soothing chardy? This 2012 vintage fits the bill.
