| Robert Parker | 97 RP - I have never tasted a more compelling Chardonnay made in the New World and rarely have a tasted a white Burgundy such as this as Marcassin's 1997 Chardonnay Marcassin Vineyard. There are 200 cases of this wine which ranks among the finest dry whites to ever cross my palate. Aged in 100% new French oak this powerful 14.5% alcohol effort represents the pinnacle of perfection. Dazzling aromatics offer up leesy roasted nut coffee liquid slate minerals honeyed citrus and subtle toast scents. Extremely full-bodied with multiple layers of flavor and that liquid petroleum note this is a spectacular blazingly well-focused symmetrical yet enormous wine that should age nicely for a decade perhaps longer. It goes against everything I have learned in my wine career that something this perfect complex and rich could be produced from five year old vines. But the truth as always can be found in the bottle ... in vino veritas ... and then some. |
