Thomas Studach, Malanser Chardonnay Size:6x750ml

Thomas Studach, Malanser Chardonnay Size:6x750mlThomas Studach's intensely yellow colored 2021 Malanser Chardonnay opens with an intense and noble bouquet that is reminiscent of the finest cognac and makes you long for a cigar. There are vanilla and very fine oak or toast aromas on the very elegant and balanced nose that is maybe a bit overly perfumed but in a really noble way. On the palate, this is a pure, intense and saline Chardonnay full of lush fruit, tension, texture and very fine tannin

but it should have no trouble developing more with time in bottle

It has menthol and green flavor characteristics with a just-starting to develop toasty character

The palate is full and firm with lovely vivacity and loads of mineral sparks

Fuller and more intense in the mouth

filling the mouth with a sense of tenderness and ease

incense and floral pastille scents show excellent delineation and pick up a suggestion of licorice with air

planted with massal selection Chardonnay in 1974

with an open-knit nose that's generous

Drinking perfectly today

rounded and sensual with black cherries

readers could buy blind here and always end up with a juicy

it's easy to understand why
