An excellent example of barrel fermented Chardonnay.
Bright straw colour. Distinct aroma of butterscotch, cashews, biscuit and yeast lees. On the palate there is plenty of weight and flavour, with cashew, bitter almond, toasted oak and yeast lees dominant. Well integrated over nuances of citrus and grapefruit. Clean, crisp acidity, with long aftertaste of biscuit, nut and almond. A wine nearing it peak. Cellar 1-2 years.
RATING: 91/100
VALUE: XXXX/5
