2001CobawRidgeChardonnay

Sans A very impressive sophisticated Chardonnay. Bright straw colour. The nose is intense with aroma of yeast lees, toasted oak, melon, fig and smoked almond. An excellent sniff. The palate continues to deliver the layers of complexity that are evident on the nose. Creamy texture, with powerful flavours of yeast lees, roast almond and spice with again strong almond character. Outstanding length and depth. Crisp acid finish. Perfect balance with exceptionally long aftertaste of citrus almonds and spice.Cellar 2-3 years (2005-2006)Alc/Vol: 14.0%RATING: 96/100VALUE: XXXXX/5
