Hansruedi Adank: Fläscher Chardonnay 2021

Parker om: Fläscher Chardonnay

Adank's 2021 Fläscher Chardonnay displays a bright citrus color and opens with an intense, flinty-scented, reductive nose with notes of peanut brittle. Dense, lush and vivacious on the palate, this is a full-bodied, tight and tensioned Chardonnay with remarkable tannin grip that is still so firm that it dries the finish a little bit. However, the wine has substance, intensity and a powerful structure and should develop well with bottle age or aeration. The finish is tight and saline and reveals lovely phenolic grip and tension. It's very promising, 13.2% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted in Zurich, February 2023. 92/100
