2001 Kongsgaard Chardonnay
(USA / California / Napa)
RATED: 03/01/2004
COMMENTS: Drank a bottle of this in late February of 04. A nice lemon-yellow color. Rich in the mouth, while very "clean" and free of strong wood or "butter," a nice amount if mineral on the tongue and in the finish. Aromas of citrus. Clearly one of the top Chardonnay's I've had out of California, I can't agree 100% with the huge 98 rating that Parker gave it. In a tasting group of 4, the other 3 were surprised it had such a rating and reputation, and generally the ground gave it ratings from 93-95. I will say the wine opened up a great deal after sometime in the glass, and warmed slightly.

2001 Kongsgaard Chardonnay
(USA / California / Napa)
RATED: 01/14/2004
COMMENTS: If blind tasted, I could have easily picked it as a fine White Burg. The only hint that it was not a White Burg is the little extra Chardonnay fruit forward that first hits your tongue. The finish does go on and on and on (like the battery bunny). It is a very youthful wine and will certainly evolve and become more refined in the years to come, at which time it will easily rival the best White Burgs made.
