• F1NUT Likes this wine: 90 points

  November 18, 2020 - Lucky to get a good bottle I think, it was double decanted but still opened up much more in the glass over a couple of hours. Looks somewhat youthful with a deep straw colour and distinctly Chardonnay nose.
  
  The palate is a joy and rather amazing for this 22 year old wine. It still has elegance but develops impact in the mouth with perfectly ripe fruit and cleansing acidity. Very good length and great with food. The oak has subdued and acidity is mild but balancing the very good but aged fruit.
  
  This bottle still had life and some vigour, keeping its poise over more than two hours in a glass, but surely 22 years is enough so perhaps drink these while the wine is still very enjoyable.
