Gorgeous honeysuckle, white flowers, toasted bread, and stone fruits emerge from the glass, and it's medium to full-bodied and flawlessly balanced, with integrated acidity and a great finish. It's brilliant today with air yet will benefit from a year in bottle and have at least a decade of longevity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003e-Jeb Dunnuck 97 Points\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Morlet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44949164064815,"sku":"302235","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/4677\/5087\/files\/madoucebtl.jpg?v=1771490480","url":"https:\/\/timelesswinesdirect.com\/products\/morlet-family-vineyards-ma-douce-chardonnay-2019","provider":"timelesswines.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
