I’m impressed with this 2012 Chardonnay. It’s really thought-provoking, with lots of textural detail on the palate.<\/p>\n
Tabali Talinay Chardonnay Coastal Limestone Vineyard 2012 Limari Valley, Chile<\/strong>
\n13.5% alcohol. Refined nose of herbs, nuts, wax and taut pear and citrus fruit. The palate is complex and mineral with a distinctive savoury, nutty edge to the tangerine and white peach fruit. Very detailed and fine-grained with structure and crystalline acidity, as well as hints of hazelnut and marzipan. 93\/100 (\u00a315.99 Virgin Wines)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A few years ago I visited a remarkable coastal vineyard in Limari, Chile, with active limestone soils.
