Château Los Boldos 2001 Vielles Vignes Chardonnay (Requinoa)

Country: Chile / Vielles Vignes
Variety: Chardonnay Requinoa
Winery: Château Los Boldos /

The old-vine name is French, as are the estate owners, and the wine itself is pretty good despite being a bit thick, chewy and aimless. The nose is full but nondescript, while apple and oak-driven flavors define the palate. The finish is textured and woody. Mouthfeel is its primary attribute while interesting or unusual tastes prove elusive.
