Chardonnay Hard
-- Parker: Ziereisen's golden-yellow 2013 Hard Chardonnay from 26-year-old vines on jurassic chalk and loam has an intense, spicy/mineral bouquet of ripe, yellow-fleshed fruits. Full-bodied, pure, fresh and very mineral on the palate, this is a dense, elegant, well structured and fairly powerful wine with a good salinity and grip in the finish. Fermented and aged for 22 months in 10% new and 90% used barriques, and bottled unfiltered, this Chardonnay will benefit from further bottle aging. However, the 2013 does not have the concentration of the 2012. 92/100
