2019 Dumol Chardonnay Chloe
2019 Dumol Chardonnay Chloe The 2019 wine’s aromas are bright and expansive with yellow peach, nectarine and white flowers. A suggestion of flint and spearmint adds detail. Viscosity and opulence are immediate on the palate with tangerine oil, honeycomb and candied ginger richness. On the deep mid palate, the wine’s texture builds effortlessly: lemon oil, apricot and quince paste. Befitting this structured vintage, the wine is quite chiseled with precise, balancing acidity and flavors of grapefruit pith on the finish. Drink between late 2020 and 2026 without over-chilling; I think 60° F is the perfect temperature to allow the wine’s full intensity to shine. Bottled unfiltered.
