From magnum. I have been fortunate enough to have enjoyed a number of PH Chardonnay from magnum bottles and so far they have all been magnificent even if they have been really old!

Color me impressed. Holding together quite well with fruit equally matched to acid and body.

Really wish I had another one. Brighter initially with crisp apple and lime zest complimented by almond. Palate is medium-full with a nice lift of acidity.

Full bodied Chardonnay with good acid backbone. Pineapple, green apple, lemon and toasted nuts.
