| Comments: | This is
an elegant but powerful wine. The nose shows fruit characters of
grapefruit, lemon and citrus zest as would be expected from a cool climate
Chardonnay. On the palate similar citrus characters are seen but also a
lemon blossom flavour is detected. This combines wonderfully with the
savoury biscuit character from yeast contact and smoky nuttiness from the
oak. The finish of the wine is reminiscent of cashews with the tingling
grapefruit acidity balancing off the palate. James Halliday Wine Companion 2009 Rating: 95/100 |
