Lot #642. Marcassin Chardonnay Marcassin Vineyard 1997

Description: Consists of 1 Bottle, 0.75L
Score: 96 RP.
"Revealing a tell-tale greenish hue to its deep gold color (which is more mature and older looking than the 1996s), the 1997 exhibits aromas of roasted hazelnuts, smoke, brioche, honeyed melons and honeysuckle. Although it is neither as complex nor compelling as the 1996 (it’s hard to follow an utterly perfect wine), it is a full-bodied Chardonnay offering notes of liquified tropical fruit, good acidity, and a slightly more monolithic quality than its older sibling." Wine Advocate #201, Jun 2012
Provenance: The Aquamarine Cellar
Notes: Damp stained, lightly bin soiled, lightly scuffed label.
