94/100 55

Quite oaky (classy oak) Chardonnay in a moderately concentrated style but with a pleasing nery, edgy character - “nervosite”, as the French say. Lots of energy and potential to develop well. Good acidity and moderate length. Mineral, floral, citrus, lemon zest and oak.

Tasted: Oct 2009    Average price: NZD $52 (~USD $44)
