  Super smooth, stone fruits, fresh acidity, with some toast, nuts and a little flint. Well balanced, one of top Chardonnay from Hawkes Bay.
  
  Ap 5/5, Ar 12/15, Palate 18/20, Overall 5+3/10
  Total 93+/100

  brief note, tiny tasting tour
  
  N....thrusting intensity, sweet wood, toffee apple
  
  T.....caramel, sweet oak again, good fruit but a Foodie style (dry-ish), possibly too much wood/out of balance at moment (Feb 2020)
  
  Rec RP £43.00.....doesn't feel worth that much.

  Expected this to be a lot more buttery but frankly the green, stone fruits dominated and had a firm structure and good acidity. Fresh and young still but well giving wine and made for an excellent wine to kick off our dinner. 90-91
