This is quite good in its understated fashion
There is plenty of red-berry fruit here lending the 2005 an attractive fleshy texture
but I also don't see it improving much from this point
focused and strikingly intense flavors possess excellent mid-palate density along with a superbly long finish that is akin to rolling small pebbles around in the mouth
Otherwise the round and velvet-textured flavors possess both good volume and excellent richness
Ceritas, Charles Heintz Chardonnay Brut Zero This is quite good inA shade deeper but still a brilliant yellow straw hue, the 2023 Chardonnay Charles Heintz reveals notes of fresh pineapples, wet stones, fresh flowers, and citrus oils. Full bodied, it saturates the palate with an opulent, silky texture, though it remains focused, its intense clarity balanced with mouthwatering salinity and a long finish. Its both approachable now but has the ability to age over the coming 15 years.
