"Readers looking for an ostentatious blockbuster should check out Kistler's 1998 Chardonnay Hudson Vineyard. This offering comes from the Hudson E Block vineyard that was made famous by Helen Turley and John Wetlaufer's Marcassin bottlings. Smoky, roasted hazelnut scents give this a garish, flamboyant, Meursault premier cru-like character. Big and full-bodied, with considerable glycerin, high alcohol, and terrific fruit richness, this thick, juicy, mouth-staining Chardonnay will impress with its power and brash display of fruit, alcohol, and glycerin. It should drink well for 5-6 years."
