Product Information: Winemaker's notes - The ultimate Peter Michael collector’s Chardonnay. The blend is chosen from the absolute top barrels from the entire vintage with an eye toward long-term aging. Parker Review: A selection of the top barrels, the 2003 Chardonnay Point Rouge exhibits aromas and flavors of orange marmalade, honeyed pineapple, citrus oil, wet stones, and a touch of exotic tropical fruits (mango and papaya). This stunning Chardonnay is super-concentrated, but behaves like a ballerina in the mouth. Drink it over the next 7-8 years. Tanzer Review: Straw-gold color, the deepest of these 2003 chardonnays. Exotic, superripe aromas of pineapple, dried fruits, butterscotch and honey. Huge, fat and exotic. Initially seemed less shapely than the Cuvee Indigene but with aeration this wine showed more obvious minerality, a strong pineapple flavor and excellent acidity. Even fuller than the Cuvee Indigene and utterly seamless, with uncanny sweetness of fruit. Eighteen barrels were selected from a total of 365, then further reduced to 12. | ||||
