Obsidian Chard 09

$34.75 750 MLS

Peach and citrus on the nose, with coconut coming through before a strong vanilla finish. Lovely fresh balanced wine. 18/20 AC July 10

Obsidian Chardonnay 2009 (17.5+/20), at 14.0% alc, 30% indigenous yeast fermented and aged 10 months in 25% new oak, was pale straw yellow in colour and very aromatic on bouquet, the esters of fermentation still showing over the floral-spice of fruit and oak. Youthful peach flavours came through with some alcohol heat on palate. Medium bodied with balanced oak and soft acidity, this was quite approachable by way of its elegance. This needs a year to settle down, then drink over 3-4 years. RC July 10
