Kongsgaard, The Judge Chardonnay 2023 750ML NEW-ARRIVAL The soil across the site’sThe 2023 Chardonnay The Judge offers a compelling mix of power and finesse. In 2023, the Judge is not quite as opulent as it can be, with the personality of the cool, late ripening season very much on display. Clean mineral notes cut through a core of candied citrus fruit and floral tones. Time in the glass hints at The Judge's weight and ultimate potential, but this is a wine for the cellar.
