The 1998 Chardonnay starts off with a delectable aroma of ripe melon and citrus, with hints of roasted grain and toasty oak. The luscious, mouth-coating flavor has a core of grapefruit, pineapple and apricot. All of these flavors lead to the aftertaste, which is rich, full-flavored and well balanced, with lingering nuances of honeyed lemon and spicy oak that leaves your mouth literally watering for more.
