April 1, 2022 - This is quite a fine chardonnay but it lacks fruits, depth and excitement. All very competent and it is very well balanced but the lack of fruit does not move the game forward. How much citrus, lemon, tangerine and fresh acidity does one need?
Driink now or 3+ years. -

March 21, 2021 - Opens up nicely after an hour or so in the glass/ bottle and would probably like a decant. I love the nose, it’s lemon citrus and tangerine, orange blossom, and quite flamboyant. It’s intense on the palate, really lovely tingling acidity which carries the fruit through the long mouthwatering finish and ends with a touch of cashew

January 1, 2020 - Rather consistent with my previous note even though slightly more advanced and rounded.

September 15, 2018 - Felton Road Block Bonanza #2: Elegant nose with citrus, dust, petroleum, smoke, gunpowder and some graphe notes.
Tart and refreshing on the palate, nice acidity, gooseberry, intense and long.
Loads of minerals, almost champagne like minerality.
5 BV, 1 WV.
