Bright light yellow colour. Spicy, warm ripe lemon nose with some very slightly resiny, cedary notes. Dry, medium bodied, quite well structured, fairly intense, quite forward, slightly spicy, mature lemon-apple flavours with a lingering, fairly cedary finish. Has 12.5% alcohol and 4 g/L residual sugar. Ready-to-drink. Better than the 2015 (**) that was released on March 31, 2018 at $24.95. |

TASTING NOTE: Lifted, enticing orange-peel aromas, fresh mint and a faint mealy note too. Intriguingly edgy - almost a bit like a low-sulphur style, although there's nothing unfresh here. Loads of cereal and dried hay on the finish - lovely to taste such esoterica within Chardonnay. When to drink: 2017-2021. Score - 17 (out of 20) (Richard Hemming, MW, jancisrobinson.com, July 17, 2018) |
