9/8/2018 - Vinopolis Likes this wine: 88 pointsYum, citrus and white florals on the nose, still fresh and vibrant but would continue to develop another 5-10 years perhaps. Acidity slightly softened and rounder mouthfeel than current vintages, lime driven on the palate with great balance of fruit/acidity |

Cherry/berry cola on the nose with a hint of spice, medium bodied with stewed plum, blackberry compote, moved to a bit of sour cherry after a bit more air, cork was dry in the top half but bottom half disintegrated, interesting wine |

2010 Sacred Hill Chardonnay RiflemansHawke's Bay more |
8/25/2018 - Vinopolis Likes this wine: 94 pointsDelicious! Started with citrus and florals on the nose moving into yellow peach once it opened up, very harmonious wine with great integration of oak, toasted almond, subtle creme brûlée, with a hint of honey and citrusy acidity. Still has another 5 years in it I think but great to drink it now too! |
