93/100 55

Appealing Chardonnay with good flavour concentration and a pleasing array of fruit flavours (grapefruit. citrus) with a supportive seasoning of winemaker artifact (oak, nutty yeast lees and toasty barrel fermentation characters). This is a sophisticated and satisfying Chardonnay - a restrained wine showing subtle power.
