Futo's 2014 5500 is dark

warm earth and plenty of sauvage character

it is the least exciting of the three Chardonnays

The wine has a spicy nose with balsamic notes of aromatic herbs

Chambeyron, Cote Rotie Lancement other_regions Futo's 2014 5500 is darkSaturated violet. Expansive dark berry and floral scents are complemented by suggestions of vanilla, smoky bacon and exotic spices. Juicy and broad in the mouth, offering appealingly sweet blackberry, cherry cola and mocha flavors supported by a core of smoky minerality. The vanilla and floral notes repeat on a long, smooth finish framed by sneaky, even tannins. One third new oak. Josh Raynolds
