| Description: | 4 ½ Stars 2023 Platter's South African Wine Guide Layers of flavour in assertive 21 (94 pts), lovely tangy orange marmalade & dried apricot with toasted hazelnut & lees enrichment. Oak enhances, but still a tad dominant despite les time in barrel than last, 8 months vs 10, 25% new. Youthful & ageworthy. 91 pts Wine Spectator Web Only - 2022 Presents pretty notes of orchard blossoms, vanilla and graphite enmeshed with flavors of creamed apple, honey, persimmon and slivered almond. A well-cut frame of acidity drives the mineral-laced finish. Drink now through 2027. 90 pts Tim Atkin Mw 2022 Overseen by experienced Aussie wine consultant Kym Milne Mw, this well-judged Chardonnay is made with an equal combination of estate and purchased grapes. Fermented and aged in 20% new wood, it's very much a fruit-focused wine, with peach, melon and citrus flavours and a dusting of aromatic spices. 2022-25 |
