This is an immaculate Chardonnay and one of best Tiers vintages yet with every element in its perfect place. It opens with beautifully precise and detailed aromas of grapefruit, honeydew melon and chalky minerality topped by fine new oak all tightly wrapped. The palate then delivers fantastic extract and volume of pristine fruit underpinned by a bolt of fresh acidity that drives a long, sustained cashew scented finish. Super impressive and will deliver for many years, but give it time to flower.
