Marcassin "Three Sisters" Chardonnay Sonoma Coast 2002

Straw/yellow, slight haze. Hard to believe this is a 2002.

Smoke, popcorn, truffle/sulfide nose.

Luxurious sweetness (ripe fruit, not sugar) on entry, with sulfide/custard/lemon flavors coursing through caramel-enhanced finish. I also get subtle mineral and iron notes. This bottling always seems to have a sensuous textural character, with no sense of weight.

This rips it up.
