2001, Giaconda Vineyard, Beechworth Chardonnay

The palate is certainly grand with intensity and power encased in a tight frame of acidity.  Lingering mineral notes remind me of the 1992 Chardonnay.  Oak plays a supporting role but the sheer depth of fruit swarms all over the oak.  As with past vintages, the palate is a combination of wheat, spice and stone fruits wrapped in a creamy texture.  The synergy between vineyard and the maker is clearly evident.  Another superb Giaconda Chardonnay.
