|
|
||
| Personal Notes |
2003 Wyncroft 'Avonlea' Chardonnay, Lake Michigan Shore--smells like a Meursault with intense notes of pear, apple, spice along with a hint of citrus and smoke. Creamy and elegant palate with mineral, vanilla and caramelized notes on the finish. A showstopper for sure and worth every penny. I might venture it has better structure and elegance than the Kistler Sonoma Coast Chard. |

| Personal Notes |
this must be one of the most interesting wines tasted in a long while, aromas of sweet peach and white lilies, with hints of lavender and mango, round on the palate with a clean and floral finish. Reminds me a bit of Viognier, but more concentrated and floral. A must try! |
