Isole e Olena Description
Light greenish gold in color, the Chardonnay is aromatic on the nose, with spicy, buttery perfumes. On the palate it balances ripe fruit, fresh bread crust from the oven, with a hint of spice from the oak aging and a long, slightly citrus finish.
James Suckling: 95 Points
Super-restrained citrus profile with notes of bitter lemon peel and yellow grapefruit, both enhanced by delicate toastiness. The attack is polished, with a medium body, lifted integrated acidity, a zesty grip at the end and a mellow, hedonistic yet always tense texture. How improved this wine is compared to the past. Drink or hold.
Wine Advocate: 95 Points
The Isole e Olena 2022 Chardonnay Collezione Privata is full of spirit and character thanks to a vein of spice and cinnamon that folds into nectarine and poached pear. I love the unabashed intensity of this warm vintage. The acidity is present, and the bouquet is singing strong. That medley of ripe fruit and oak spice pushes over the medium to full-bodied mouthfeel and gives the wine long persistence.
Wine Spectator: 92 Points
Immediate scents of vanilla, toasty oak and butter or butterscotch lead off, while the flavors are more evocative of peach, pear and lemon oil. Elegant and balanced, with the oak remaining discreet as the fruit notes echo on the lingering finish. Drink now through 2028. 180 cases imported.
