2015 Aubert, Larry Hyde & Sons Chardonnay, Los Carneros 1x750ml

Robert Parker 97

"The 2015 Chardonnay Larry Hyde and Sons Vineyard is simply amazing with a level of intensity that is through the roof, strutting notes of lemon oil, candied ginger, pink grapefruit and orange blossom with touches of yuzu and brioche, plus a waft of green tea. Full-bodied, finely constructed, oily and yet with tons of zing, this is simply a blockbuster and a delicious one at that." [Lisa Perrotti-Brown, 31/10/2017]

Anticipated maturity: 2017-2027

Vinous 94

The 2015 Chardonnay Larry Hyde and Sons is unctuous and ample in the glass. Apricot pit, peach, vanillin and candied lemon peel are beautifully delineated. Sumptuous and layered, the 2015 hits all the right notes. Today, the personality of the year masks some of the personality of Hyde, but the wine is impeccable in its balance just the same. The Hyde is the wine in this range that is most marked by the heat of the vintage. [Antonio Galloni, 03/01/2017]
