Giesen Fuder Clayvin Vineyard Chardonnay 2012

Another barrel ferment Chardonnay, where evidence of that technique is clearly on show. Carried out with an even hand, not assaulting the nostrils: the toast, creamy smoke give the wine a profile that lends gravitas.
Spice, toast, textural - giving a fuller, rounder presence to the wine. None of that skinny, picked far too early nonsense here I add. Nutty, creamy - of substance.
Powerful - holds a line based on the spice that is evident throughout. Impressive. 92
