The wonder that is chardonnay is laid out beautifully, masterfully, intelligently and artfully here. In a good year, intensity deepens, flavours soar. Lifted aromas of orange blossom, peach, nectarine, grapefruit flesh, oatmeal and grilled nuts with a hint of matchstick. It's plush, luxuriant and textural to taste, brightened by juicy, filigree-fine, insistent acidity. Both vibrantly youthful and complex. The vinous adjectives flow. Beautiful. Drink to 2037.

Bright, light-medium yellow colour with explosive aromas of struck flint, smoked charcuterie, roasted hazelnuts, grapefruit and much more, the palate majestically opulent with extraordinary depth of fruit flavour and fruit-sweetness on the mid-palate that persists long after the wine has gone. The strongly reductive style is typical of this winery, and may polarise, but there's no doubting it's an opulent, voluminous wine that crams a seemingly impossible amount of flavour into a mouthful. Extraordinary palate length and drive. Drink 2023 - 2037.
