90/100
450 cases. A very complex Chardonnay with roasted nut, bran biscuit, citrus/grapefruit and lots of classy oak flavours. Quite linear. Powerful wine with a firm acid/tannic backbone. Winemaker artifact occupies centre-stage. This is a very serious Chardonnay that only hints at its full potential.
