Score 94/100 · Drink 2025-2029, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Nov 2025
The 1999 Chardonnay is a ravishing conclusion to this vertical. Bright, deep and wonderfully dynamic, the 1999 is so impressive. Structurally, it feels like a red wine because of its phenolic intensity. Candied apricot, lightly honeyed notes, white flowers, ginger and exotic spice tones abound. Lemon confit, tangerine peel and dried herbs build into the long, sustained finish. Unforgettable.
