cool and reserved nose features superb breadth with a wonderfully appealing array of plum

with vines grafted on rootstock because Baron expected phylloxera to arrive eventually

You can recognize the Mourvedre-driven structure and tannic spine on the palate

Once again at least some patience will be necessary as this is presently quite tightly wound

Good stuff here too

Ferren, Lancel Creek Chardonnay Size:6x750ml cool and reserved nose featuresThe 2014 Chardonnay Lancel Creek Vineyard is a powerful, immediate wine. Huge on the palate, the 2014 has tons of density, but less in the way of finesse and nuance. For another producer, this would be a superb wine, but here, it is the least exciting of the three Chardonnays. Antonio Galloni
