Remarkable phenolic tension at front sliding through to a rich, firm & balance middle palate framed by ripe stone fruits and perfumed Bosc pear, crunch minerality and savory acidity with an elegant soft clean finish.
Absolutely stunning. Complex, tightly wound and intense aromas of lemon peel, flint and crushed river stones with curry leaves, kaffir limes, white orchard fruit and salted nuts. The profound palate balances power and delicacy, supported by persistent, multidimensional acidity and structure. Iconic, made under unprecedented climatic conditions from the hottest, driest and earliest vintage in Margaret River. An excellent, unique and near-perfect chardonnay. One for the ages. Drink or hold. Screw cap. - 98 points, James Suckling
