James Suckling: 98 Points
A striking chardonnay that blows you away with its limey, briny character. This is all about chalk, lime, sea urchins, hot stone, oyster shells and green apples. Different texture here from their Talinay bottling. This is more chalky and mealy on the palate and gives you an ashy mouthfeel, as if biting on the chalk. Persistent and nervy finish. Sharp but textured. Made with native yeast, fermented in used Burgundy oak barrels (second, third and fourth use). No malolactic. This is very special. Drink now or hold.
Vinous: 95 Points
The 2022 Chardonnay Talinay Caliza hails from a tiny chalky plot of the Talinay Vineyard in Limarí, and was aged for 10 months in French oak barrels. The precise nose presents green apple and creamed corn notes with hints of hazelnut, praline, wet stone and a faint layer of gunpowder. Dry and concentrated in the mouth. The chalky, taut, refreshing feel produces a complex palate before the mouth-watering finish. A coastal Chardonnay of rare character.
