Leesy, nutty and slightly oxidized, giving it a distinct non-New World feel. Really nice wine!

Style change? Roulot like flavors and aromas. Flinty and generous. Genius.

Incredible 🇦🇺 Chardonnay @ £75 that was one of the best I’ve tried from here 😍 a fabulous new find 👍

📍 Giaconda Estate Vineyard Chardonnay 2011

🏵 94-95 points

🍷 Golden yellow w/ lime hue

👃 Juicy tropical fruit melted butter bathed in petrol, citrus chards & crushed rock sprinkles w/ a banana slap & light oaky tickle

👄 Med+ silky creamy rich buttery smooth tropical fruits, citrus & green fruit tones in dry minerals - not overpowered but balanced like a top burgundy

🎯 Long dry tropical green fruit citrus buttery honey kiss & banana surprise 🍌 👻

Power and concentration in a manner that elegance and finesse is not compromised. Oatmeal, cereals, granola, struck-matches. Vibrant acidity and impressive mineral content.
