| Description: | 100 JS / 96 Ta / 19 Jr. This is always aromatic, exotic and idiosyncratic, with its enchanting aromas of green fruit, green curry, citrus, ash, green passion fruit and spearmint. Almost full-bodied on the palate with lots of mineral tension. Bright acidity quickly takes over, followed by a long, bone-dry finish that goes on and on. So pure, unique and thought-provoking. Drink or hold.-James Suckling. Do I prefer White Bones to White Stones in 2022? To me, tey are different but equally delicious. Showing the influence of marine limestone, this is an intensely pithy, chiselled Chardonnay with finely judged oak integration, notes of lemongrass, greengage, wet stones, grapefruit and elderflower and a limering, chalky finish.-Tim Atkin Mw. If there's one Chardonnay that you could easily spot blind in a line-up, it is Catena Zapata's White Bones. There is an unmistakable note of lemon and lavender on the nose, which is quite unlike any other. In the palate, there is a delicious chalkiness and elegant, fine finish with vibrant acidity and slight tang from partial biological ageing. This vintage shows wonderful concentration yet poise. Stellar stuff.-Amanda Barnes, JancisRobinson. |
