Robert Parker Jr's The Wine
Advocate Issue #193 February 2011
Notes at release:
2007 was a drought year of historic severity. Sixteen inches fell
during the winter - the last time that happened was 1977, thirty
years previously. Other than that, it was a great growing season.
We still kept our dry-farming philosophy (the only sustainability
that works in my world) and the late summer, early fall were
textbook mild and sunny.
The style of this vintage is what I have been trying to
achieve recently. Reticent in fruit yet buoyant in personality,
this chardonnay has penetrating, compelling aromas unique to Mount
Eden of earth, quince, and lime zest. On the palate, the first
impression is of solid acidity with the fruit in the background but
abundant richness, texture and minerality in the foreground.
Overall, an exquisite, teasing tautness completes the
picture.
Built to age gracefully, expect improvement through 2012 and a
drinking plateau through 2025 with proper cellaring.
