Late-harvest chardonnay with yellow plum and moderate oak spice. Quite full-bodied, with intense flavours and high acidity to match. Still a bit heavy on the alcohol (14%) which makes it a slow drinker. Serious stuff that needs proper food matching. Drink now and over the next few.

A bit of new oak spice, and ripe fruit: yellow plums with a light hint of yellow apple oxidation. Quite a full-bodied chardonnay (14%) with impressive build and structure assisted by wood. Best served at 15-16 degrees after decanting. Wait a year or two for even better integration.
