Lot 199 Details
AUBERT CHARDONNAY RITCHIE VINEYARD 2010

Sonoma County.
u. 5 x 1 cm. 2 x scraped labels. 1 x scuffed label

The 2010 Chardonnay Ritchie Vineyard comes across as implosive and structured. Today the wine is quite reticent, as it is showing just the barest hint of its potential. The 2010 Ritchie impresses for its power and energy. This tightly coiled Chardonnay needs another year or two in bottle to show the full breadth of its potential. These 36-year-old vines are the oldest Aubert works with. December 2011 WA 94+

5 bts.    per lot $700 - $900

Realised: $960
Price Includes Buyer's Premium ?
