In good vintages, Trefethen reserves a special portion of their Chardonnay production for late release in their Library Selection series. This latest offering—one of the oldest wines tasted—shows good balance and creamy, yet still crisp, smoothness. The green apple fruit is still holding well, along with a chalky note and a refreshing lime, herb and flinty tartness reminiscent of Chablis.——W.E.(7/1/2001)—— 89
