The ageability and potency of California Chardonnays
3 Jul 2006 by JR
Martin Nettleton, Yorks:   Reading last week's wine of the week I was tantalised by the mention of the Kistlers and Auberts .  I have just taken delivery of some of the new vintage of both (Adrian Walsh [of Fine Food & Wine in Sheffield] of course!). Tell us more please!  Do you have plans to publish notes? me:   I have to admit that I haven’t bought any Kistler recently and left my last consignment, 1996s, too long before pulling the corks. The single vineyard bottling I tried a few months ago was very definitely on the way down (unlike a 1996 Glen Carlou Chardonnay from South Africa)...
