NZ Chard

[Bucko]

2004 Nobilo, Chardonnay, East Coast, New Zealand, $12. Sparkling gold in color, this Chard gives off a lovely bouquet of nectarines and subtle vanilla. The nectarine fruit carries over to the palate, with nuances of cream, allspice and brioche giving additional character, finishing on a crisp note; 89/91.
