Notes
"Vintage 2022 combined good yields with high quality, which must be something of a relief given the vicissitudes of recent seasons. Who’d be a farmer eh? This is to be released April 2024.
A little struck match and funk, pink grapefruit and pear, spicy oak, some ginger, floral perfume sitting quietly behind that, waiting to unfurl. Intense, fine flinty texture and chalky grip, it’s restrained, but the power through the palate, and the length is quite something. Sappy and alive. Here’s a Chardonnay of quiet power and finesse. It’s benchmark stuff."
