| Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
FAMIGLIA BIANCHI |
| Bright medium straw colour. Toasty pineapple nose. Fairly dry, medium bodied, intense, very toasty, spicy, baked lemon flavours with a lingering, high acid, somewhat tropical, burnt toast finish. Tasted three times. The first bottle had a vinyl-tinged, blue cheese nose with lots of cedar notes. The price is $2 higher and, unfortunately, it’s not up to the 2013 (*+) released on August 2, 2014 at $14.95. You can safely ignore the tasting note appearing in the Vintages Catalogue. |

| TASTING NOTE: Lovely Argentine Chardonnay, especially for the price! Rich and round white wine, with green apple aromas and a toasty goodness. The grapes for this Chardonnay were handpicked and then the wine was barrel fermented for extra creaminess and texture. There's some golden lemon notes on the finish. Lots of toasty oak. Leaves you longing for more. Produced by Valentín Bianchi, this is an amazing robust Chardonnay for the money! The grapes are hand-picked and the wine is 100% barrel fermented. Pair with roast chicken. Drink: 2014-2017. Score - 90 (Natalie MacLean, nataliemaclean.com, Dec. 2014) |
