Midwinter, 2019 (Pokai Parera, Ekatahuna, New Zealand): Beautiful chablis in mid-maturity. Mineral (hint of flint) , stone fruit, and floral (Dianthus and other spring blossoms) aspects. Good weight, supple texture. Fine wine. 93+, can continue evolve.

Screwcap (hallelujah!) Overt toasty, butterscotch aromas. Quite developed. Full bodied. Butterscotch nicely balanced by acidity. Mouth filling. Medium plus finish. Bit tired (?), but lovely. Drink now. 94-95

Mature wine; oily in the glass and it shows on the palate as well; quite complex flavours, some melon, lots of mineral, still some acidity; medium finish. Drink now.

Quite round and perhaps not quite as much fresh acidity as I would have liked, but lovely and ready wine

Moderate body, but a little flabby, even on day two. Good finish. No ox - looked youthful. Under screw cap.
