2007 in magnum. Drinking well above my pay grade. Chardonnay like a WWII pin up girl.

2007 Kongsgaard The Judge Chardonnay. Christmas dinner at P&R's. Great- it had held up despite its age and still drank beautifully. Rich

Great at first but developed a high degree of oak and acidity on the finish after opening up.

Wonderful chardonnay. Easy to drink. Tropical fruits with a nice touch of sweetness on the finish. Acids suggest this wine still has years to age.

Oxidized.
Окисленно.
Желтое яблоко, персик, сухая руккола, заветренный мёд, осенний лес. Под оксидативной пленкой чувствуются отличная структура и качество изначального материала, но полноценно оценить их уже сложно.
