review
El PACTO - Chardonnay 2023 - 91 pts
"Subtle vanilla, roasted spices, pears and lemons on the nose. Very good intensity, with a medium body and a flavorful, creamy finish. Well poised. Drink now."
El PACTO - Chardonnay 2022 - 91 pts
"A haze of toast and spices on top of the green pineapple and star fruit. Generous and smooth on the palate with fresh, medium acidity and a creamy, sleek finish. Very good length. Subtle sweetness from the oak. Drink from 2025"
El PACTO - Chardonnay 2021 - 92 pts
"Lovely mixture of mineral and brioche-like pastry creaminess. Bright and fresh on the medium-bodied palate with creamy, fresh acidity and a long, silky finish. Pretty flavorful, too. Drink now."
