2020 Black Chalk Chardonnay Inversion Blanc de Noirs

5/6/2024 - henrygjeffreys Likes this wine: NR

Another superb upmarket wine from Black Chalk
The fruit is red cherry and peach with citrus. As with the b de b, there's a thrilling purity here. It's a little broader with more overt brioche and yeasty character. The finish is very long. Drinking beautifully now. I think it will change and mature but the fruit is so vivid now.

Lemon curd on the nose with orange, smells very pure
Racy and taut on the palate but not sharp, pure lemon fruit with a tangy saline age. Perfect ripeness leading to hazelnut with a creamy long finish.
Absolute textbook English blanc de blanc. Beautiful fruit.

5/1/2024 - henrygjeffreys Likes this wine: NR

Interesting to try a vintage port from a house that specialises in tawnies. It's very different to the Fladgate ports I tasted the same day.
Very pale colour
Floral spicy nose
Haunting Turkish delight/ rose petal fragance, delicate spices. this is great. Probably not one for the long term but great now.

7th release of this
Haunting aroma, the nose is quite spectacular, like old leather bound books with dried flowers. Really remarkable
Palate doesn't quite match up to it though it's still impressive with a piercing freshness, extraordinary intensity and a walnut finish that goes on for a good ten minutes. I can still taste this 3 days later.

4/25/2024 - henrygjeffreys Likes this wine: NR

Very distinctive nose which I couldn't quite put my finger/ nostril on. Something like a peach kernel with an earthy and also floral quality,
Intense acidity on the palate, apricots, brown sugar, raisin and toffee. Coming back to this after trying older tawnies and that stone fruit note was particularly vivid, like a viognier.
Really nothing at all like Port or any other fortified wine.
