Salentein Primus Chardonnay 2006, a great chard at 20-30 bucks level but overpriced at 60 bucks

A single high altitude vineyard chard from Tunuyan Departament, Uco Valley.
Impressive and dominant tannins with high alcohol and oak notes on the palate. A mix of peach,pineapple and citrus with a strong bitter backbone of 'soaked grape stems'. Great and deep color start off a magnific chard. A 92 point chard a little bit overpriced and expensive that shoud sell for 20-30 bucks, so at 60 bucks level I don´t feel it like a great value.
