Marcassin "Three Sisters" Chardonnay Sonoma Coast 2001

Straw/yellow, slight haze.

Typical sulfide/truffle, lemon zest and caramel with poached pear, sea salt and a carnal/meat nuance.

Packed in the mouth - really stuffed with creme caramel, mineral action. Salty character repeats in finish - fruit gets lost, at least for now. Very long, chewy, subtle finish.

Day 3 - End of the line. Nose now in harmony, all of the above. Lemon now counted among the flavors here, salty character still there, cutting into the sweet caramel character. A wild thing, and worth the ride.
