94 points, Excellent, Cameron Douglas MS “A delicious bouquet and palate with a core of flinty grapefruit and cashew nut flavours surrounded by fleshy peach and baked apple ideas. Full-bodied, dry and delicious with a satin-cream touch, medium+ acid line and judicious use of new French oak. Balanced and very well made.”
90 points, James Suckling
In the glass A delicate, pale straw green. Mendoza Chardonnay fruit with complex toasty oak, yeast lees and subtle malolactic notes. Full-flavoured, with clear varietal character, creaminess from time on lees and a smoky oak background.
At the table Seafood with rich cream-based sauces, or roast chicken. For cheese, try parmesan, aged cheddar or aged gouda.
