BUY THE WINE

Michael Edwards: Sustained, stylish lemon gold. Evolving ripe aromas, especially apricot and confit of peach (very Mesnil). But the very high acidity is still mordant, searing, and intrusive on the palate. It will be interesting to see if it will assimilate in the fullness of time. Some savants say everyone picked Chardonnays a week too early in 1996. 16
