Score 89/100 · Drink 2013-2016, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Aug 2013

Almonds, butter, pastry and juicy yellow stone fruits emerge from Isole e Olena's 2011 Chardonnay. Paolo De Marchi has done a remarkable job with this wine considering how difficult the vintage was for whites. The 2011 shows the ripeness and breadth of the year in its volume, yet all the elements are beautifully balanced. This is about as good as it gets in 2011.
