Shaw and Smith M3 Chardonnay, Adelaide Hills, Australia

沙朗霞多麗白葡萄酒

點(diǎn)擊次數(shù)：10026

From a cool climate region, the 2005 Chardonnay M3 Vineyard was given full malolactic, which it appears to have handled well. A light straw color is followed by crisp aromas of pears, white peaches, and white currants. Medium-bodied and fresh, with no hint of new oak, it is a stylish, delicate Chardonnay to enjoy over the next 12 months. Importer: Vintus LLC, Pleasantville, NY; tel. (914) 769-3000

Starts with scents of pear and melon, butter and spice, but takes on an ever-larger oak presence in the mouth, adding more and more wood spice and cedar. Not sure if this will ever completely integrate, so the best bet seems to be drinking earlier rather than later.——J.C.(4/1/2008)—— 88
