Default 3 Chards

We had wine guests on SSunday evening and we all brought a bottle of
Chardonnay to go with a mixed grill of Halibut, shrimps, scallops and
chicken. Three of the bottles were impressive:

2005 Peter Michael Point Rouge-deep golden hue in the glass. Very
ripe pear note on the nose with honey and flower aromas. Well rounded
citrus and orchard fruit flavors. Nice zip on the end but overall
just a tad flabby. "B+"

2007 Kongsgaard "The Judge" Napa-Pale gold, bright nose of fresh
lemons and sea salt. Tangy lemon curd and pineapple with a deep
gravelly minerality. Well balanced. Needs some time. "A-"

2004 Louis Latour Batard Montrachet-Bright gold in the glass. Very
deep nose of honeysuckle, peaches and citrus. Well rounded and rich
on the palate with nice squirt of fresh lemon juice on the finish with
very pronounced chalky note. "A"

Wow, great selection of Chardonnays. The most expensive did not seem
to be the best.

Mine was the Latour and was the cheapest of the three by a long shot
since I bought it on release at wholesale. Price rarely seems to
matter. I think the Peter Michael was probably the most expensive
bottle of the group. We had a number (6) of very average chards that
i didn't bother with posting notes on.
