Marcassin Marcassin Vyd Chardonnay 1999 (Sonoma Coast)

Light yellow.

Lemon oil, sulphide/truffle, almond extract, caramel on the nose.

Deep, yet restrained in the mouth. Contradictory? Absolutely. Huge depth with an overlay of mineral/phenolic/acid structure.
Monster mid-palate flesh, creme brulee/caramel flavors throughout. Incredibly long and chewy. Absolutely killer wine.
