Hoo boy. The 2013 Estate Chardonnay is sensational. It is composed, restrained, mouthfilling, complex and balanced. This is a straight-up pleasure and joy to drink and assess here. Long, elongated phenolics stroke the sides of a seamless array of orchard fruit, preserved citrus and exotic spice (cut fennel, a hint of clove, some star anise, etc.).

It is a very fresh, exciting wine. 13% alcohol, sealed under screw cap. Drink: 2023 - 2033 95+ Points robertparker.com, 6th July 2023 Read less
