Black Estate Waipara NZ Chardonnay 2009

87/100
Intriguing wine with mineral, citrus and hints of tree fruit flavours supported by a seasoning of very subtle oak and yeast lees characters. An ethereal texture adds appeal. Accessible wine that's deliciously drinkable now but would develop further complexity with bottle age.
