Alykhan V Likes this wine: 90 points
May 23, 2020 - Pronounced aromas of ripe citrus fruit and nuttiness, with subtle white peach or orchard notes. Oak notes are restrained - some vanilla and maybe some spices. The oak is more detectable on the palate than on the nose
A very rich, almost creamy palate
Medium+ to high acidity. This is not a flabby wine. It is very well balanced
Medium+ length
If you enjoy white burgundy from the Macon, chardonnays that are more lactic than malic, than your will enjoy this -

April 18, 2020 - Not as enthralled as I'd hoped as a NZ Chard + biody' lover, but interesting. Will try more Millton
N: Stone orchard fruit, v floral white flowers, orange blossom (common for me in Biody' whites). Contrasts to reductive styles I've had recently. Rich bruised waxy lemon.
P: Pear, white apricot, overtones of orange peel and orange blossom. Ripe, but not overt, like English fruit. Surprisingly low med- acid, but a salty slate grip offers tension/texture.
F: Savoury bramley apple depth (oxidative?).
