I wrote about the Barboursville Chardonnay previously and had forgotten about the tasting. I then went to the winery and promised to taste the wine in earnest. Well, not much has changed of my opinion. Straight up 89 pointer with 5 stars clanging around it, singing its praises. This is a really good example of what a clean-cut Chardonnay is all about. Lean, racy apple infused with a sharp set of razor blades to zip along your tongue. I served this wine at a slightly higher temperature than at the previous tasting, some of the nuances were more obvious and the mouthfeel was even rounder. Really, you need to get some of this.
