Marcassin "Three Sisters" Chardonnay Sonoma Coast 2003

Pale yellow.

Toasted grain/meal/truffle/sauteed onion/caramel nose. Lemon oil underneath.

Round, dense, creamy (like creme brulee creamy, with flavors to match) in the mouth. Singular textural depth. Aubert and Kongsgaard are precise, linear - this is dipped in fat extract. Yet is not at all "flabby". This is actually quite structured - mineral/acid chew manages to uplift the tremendous flavor density. Apart from other Marcassins, I've never tasted Chardonnay like this.

Crazy.

Day 3 - Creamed corn and brine nuances added to the above aromas. Deep, luscious creme caramel/truffle flavors. Stupid length.
