Santa Rita Floresta Chardonnay 2002

Valle del Maipo, Region del Valle Central, ChileFirst bottle was corked; the second was much better although it's already showing some fatigue and warmth across the mid-palate. Look for creamy textures mixed with cool green apple skin and citrus aromas and tropical, citrus coconut/vanilla flavours. Round and rich in flavour with melon and honey highlights in the finish. Needs drinking.Tasted: 19 March 2006Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
