 Tasted by Marc on 10/28/2020 & rated 89 points: Tight, powerful, structured. Fabulous Chardonnay fruit that clearly speaks of the Marlborough terroir. Great acids, excellent elevage. Mealy and focused. All of our bottles were drunk too young, as this will age very well! (273 views)
 Tasted by Marc on 8/6/2020 & rated 88 points: Very good wine, with heaps of palate authority, but current,y the oak is a little assertive. It has the makings of an outstanding bottle with a little more integration. I have no doubt that it will come with time. 88-91 (262 views)
 Tasted by Marc on 6/8/2020 & rated 91 points: Stunning Chardonnay, with fabulous structure, taut fruit proportion, intense and defined new oak, and a very lingering finish. This is classic Marlborough Chardonnay, with heaps of elevage which adds up to a complete wine. Great buying. (289 views)
 Tasted by Marc on 6/1/2020 & rated 91 points: Very classy Marlborough chard, with very generous new French oak, meal, intensity of palate weight and deidinition, and totally textbook Marlborough acids. Great buying. Will obviously age, but I like it for its youthful vibrancy And direct personality. (287 views)
