Mascota Vineyards
Unánime Chardonnay
Argentina
Wow. I was absolutely impressed by this. I expected a bit more oak richness from this, but what I got was balance and elegance. Beautiful soft nose of peonies, pear, meyer lemon, and vanilla. The pallet was light on its feet, Burgundian in style - lemon zest, green apple skin, almond, creme, clove, and a subtle touch of butter to soften the mouth feel with perfect conjunction of its refreshing acid. This could have fooled me for a great St. Aubin! And better yet, for $20 out of Argentina!

It was better than I expected but still felt like it was missing something.

Nice color of saturated gold. Nose is nice with citrus, oak, ripe mango, spice, and nutty. Taste is very round, warm with roasted nuts, some flowering notes, refined acidity, while ripe fruits like peach and woody cedar notes are in the background. Aftertaste is long with residual acidity and some hotness. Very high quality Chardonnay.
