95/100 55

Intense and complex wine with an array of very subtle flavours with mineral, hazelnut and grapefruit moderately prominent. The wine has great weight and mouth feel but is supremely elegant. This is the best Cloudy Bay Chardonnay I have tasted.

Tasted: Apr 2007   Closure: S'cap    Average price: NZD $36 (~USD $30)
