Kongsgaard Judge Chardonnay - 2004 (750ml) menick — Anne Krebiehl MW 94The 2009 Chardonnay The Judge sparkles on the palate with brilliant layers of fruit. It is bright, articulate and beautifully centered from start to finish. There is a weightless richness that is almost impossible to describe for its pure elegance. A dazzling, crystalline finish rounds out the flinty, mineral drenched notes. This is easily the equal of any Chardonnay being made in the world today. Anticipated maturity: 2015 2024.
