Marcassin, Marcassin Vyd, Chardonnay, Sonoma Coast 2004

Light yellow.

Vinturi - caramel, truffle/smoke/sulfide, lemon peel (underneath) on the nose.

Big, deep, loaded entry. Hugely concentrated, with flavors following the nose. A bit abrasive in the mid-palate, with alcohol and sulfide/tannin/acid structure butting heads. Caramel, lemon, mineral chew finish. Very, very long.
