Kongsgaard Judge Chardonnay - 2004 (750ml) menick Looking at the vintages reviewedThe 2009 Chardonnay The Judge sparkles on the palate with brilliant layers of fruit. It is bright, articulate and beautifully centered from start to finish. There is a weightless richness that is almost impossible to describe for its pure elegance. A dazzling, crystalline finish rounds out the flinty, mineral drenched notes. This is easily the equal of any Chardonnay being made in the world today. Anticipated maturity: 2015 2024.
