TASTING NOTES

Iain Riggs AM

Perfect color, with lots of green tints. Low oak, but a sweet vanillin edge, with cashew and lime pith. A beautiful, long and sweet citrus palate. Bravo!

Konstantin Baum MW

Lemon zest, ripe apple, and some vanilla. Rich on the palate with a moderate acidity.

Richard Hemming MW

A relatively restrained nose, but there's more generosity on the palate, with pineapple, mango, and apple. Connected but not sickly, with plenty of persistence. Made well in its style.

Reeze Choi

Good maturity on the aroma, with a stony mineral character and nutty and toasty hints. On the palate showing more fruit, like pineapple. It is a good Chardonnay; however, the absence of acidity makes the wine a bit flat.
