10’ Kongsgaard Chardonnay. Deep gold color. Aromas of white peaches, lemons, citrus blossoms, crushed rocks. Ripe acidity throughout the glass. So good! Perfect drinking window. Pop & pour. With age the oak has integrated nicely. Edit- Almost 2 hours into this ... beautiful 👍. Many great years in front it.

Vintage 2010. Rich, intense, very long. Can win with highest Burgundies.

Duh. Biggest white wine ever!!! Almost 30 second finish, not popcorn, butter- lobster tail dipped in butter, butter. Decadent, relaxed for how pronounced. Like a linebacker in sweatpants.

Everything you expect from Kongsgaard. Rich and ripe. But with well integrated oak. Makes no apologies.

A combination of a shift in style and a cooler vintage makes this one a smiling surprise.

Very strong punch of aroma. The taste explodes on the palate. Tropical fruit such as pineapple and hint of banana. Butter and yeast. Nutty finish. 14.1% alcohol.
