Marcassin, Marcassin Vyd., Chardonnay, Sonoma Coast 2001

Light yellow.

Nose of Meyer lemon flesh and zest, truffle/sulfide, caramel, fresh herbs and a hint of oak toast and grilled meat. Fine, discreet. Creme caramel as it warms/airs.

Huge depth in the mouth, absolutely packed. Even flow throughout with no let up - lemon, caramel flavors are cut by strong mineral/sulfide/acid edge. Takes over the mouth but is not heavy; a confection that isn't sweet. Lemon/caramel "chew" lasts for minutes. This really is off the charts. Incredible.
