Tasting Notes

JS98
A very assertive nose that has a gently flinty edge, some nicely handled oak and hints of pithy lemon across more peachy stone fruits, tropical hints and a chalky element. Very fresh and tightly wound. The palate is very composed in style, with great depth and oak integration. Long and powerful but quite sleek through the middle. This is tightly coiled for now and releases a slow-burning grilled-nut flavor through the finish. The Aston Martin of chardonnay, with sleek lines and plenty of power under the bonnet. Better in 2018.
WS95
Aromatically tight, but expansive and expressive in the mouth, pouring out its pear, green guava and fig flavors in a generous stream, with glints of spice. Comes together smoothly on a deftly balanced frame to let the finish sail on and on.
