Planeta Chardonnay 2015
Sicily, ItalyRipe, full and rich, with dense white florals, sweet almond paste, fleshy yellow peaches, ripe apricots and musk melon weighting the creamy palate, lingering on the finish with a pool of lemon caramel. Yes, this is not a shy chardonnay. Fermented and aged in 50 percent new 225 litres Allier oak barriques for 10 months. For all its creaminess, this holds a fine capillary of acidity that streams it along, and a saltiness that buoys it through the finish, elevating it from the old schoolIf this was half the price, it would make sense and impress.Tasted: 06 September 2017Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $49.00 | 750ml | specialty listing |
