Pali Chardonnay Durell 2012
This beauty will command attention for both intellectual and hedonistic wine aficionados alike. Aromas of lemon zest, tangerine, and bright minerality greet the taster, leading to a palate that delivers layers of lemon, assorted spices, delightful fresh fruit and baked pastry. Supremely well balanced, this Chardonnay is worthy of a 95 point rating today and will age elegantly into a 96+ point gem over the next 4-6 years.
