Brilliant pale gold, bright reflections with great clarity. A tad reductive on the nose, but rapidly opens. There’s an awareness of new oak, but not at the expense of fruit and floral aromas which are vast and expansive ranging from citrus and pears to orange blossom and honeysuckle. Green apple on the entry, moving into more ripe tropical notes on the mid palate. There is wonderful tension here between the rounded mouthfeel of rich creme brûlée and the clean mineral finish. Acidity and alcohol are very much in tune. A very polished and elegant Chardonnay that offers ample palate weight without ever feeling heavy. Expressive, powerful and concentrated with a certain measure of restraint that I find alluring. Very much worth the price of admission.
