The 2008 CHARDONNAY “MARMARIAS” was partly fermented in barrel and then aged in 50% new oak for 6 months. It is showing nicely with a little extra time, still easy to drink with a bit of an oaky overlay, but bright and with a little bite. Although it seems to be holding well since my last look a year or so ago, I’d still suggest drinking it on the younger side as the woody notes do tend to dominate and become more prominent with air. Drink now-2012. Importers: VOS Selections, New York, N.Y.; tel: (212) 967-6948 and Dionysos Imports, Manassas, Va; tel: (703) 392-7073
