Concha Y Toro Marques de Casa Concha DO Limari Chardonnay 2009 90 Points

Pale straw with yellow reflections.
Clean, medium plus intensity, ripe citrus, stone fruit medley such as peaches, apricot glaze, melon, honey, acacia flowers, oat, some flinty minerality evident, expertly oaked ( 11 months)with just the right amount of toast and vanilla pod.
Dry with high acidity, high alcohol (14% abv), full bodied and rich with oak tannin evident, citrusy freshness, tangerine, flinty, toast, hazelnut, complex vanilla, chiseled finish however some phenolic bitterness on back palate, slightly too much extract and press, forbids higher rating of what is already a very clean and precise Chardonnay.
Now until 2019
