This vintage's Phantom Chardonnay, aged for 16 months sur lie in American and French oak barrels, emerges with a golden hue and an eerie bouquet of ripe pear, vanilla and hazelnut. On the palate, it unveils notes of baked apple, creamy butterscotch and a touch of spice, all balanced by a chilling acidity and refined texture. The finish is long and layered, casting a lingering impression of well-integrated oak that continues to haunt the senses.
