Beautiful chardonnay. Terrific intensity. Brine, white peach, chalk, steel, lime spider, cedarwood and mineral. Flint too, nothing excessive but enough. Intensity is the thing. And length. Texture takes care of itself. One sip and a word escaped my lips. Hello, I said.

A limey green glint segues to a flinty vibrancy of curd, lanolin and lemon drop. This is racy, yet generous and juicy all at once; the phalanx of maritime salinity and acidity far from forced, but merely seducing the flavours to a long energetic finish across a vanillin praline core.
