Chiming acid
Whilst reviewing a new Chardonnay released by Chateau Montelena, our man in Memphis wrote:
"The texture is so opulent that it’s almost
talc-like, yet the wine is never ponderous or overwhelming because it’s
permeated by chiming acid and a profound mineral quality."
I love acids that chime! Even in wine! Flashback to the Sixties...
Now, is that Froderic ("'ump? what 'ump?") great or what? I'm swooning, already.
Awesome, FK. Awesome. Seriously. Wish the hell I'd thought of it.
Chapeau, as they'd say in Italy.
gosh, um, thanks .... i think.

No, really, it made me jealous. "Chiming acids" -- perfect phrase, clear as a bell.
