This is a big but not really austere BM and should be approachable after only 7 to 8 years if your preference is for younger wines

Chanin, Bien Nacido Chardonnay other_regions_australia and coming across as slightlyThe 2018 Chardonnay Bien Nacido Vineyard is fabulous. Bright, lifted and beautifully persistent, the Bien Nacido has so much going on. There is a sense of translucency I find absolutely compelling. Bright saline notes give the Bien Nacido energy, tension and drive. This is such a gorgeous wine. Antonio Galloni
