2009 Montes Chardonnay Classic Series, Curico Valley (750ml)

"Greenish-gold color. Ripe apple and pear aromas are complicated by smoky lees and anise. Supple orchard fruit flavors are braced by zesty mineral and citrus notes, becoming slightly bitter with air. Finishes with decent persistence and lingering minerality." 87 points - Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, Mar/Apr 09
