Brilliant amber gold colour. Kerosene and dried apricot aromas on the nose. Getting some decent age on now at 16 years of age, bit still remarkably fresh and lively. Great balance of tart and sweet, with honeyed notes and lime.

Excellent. Consumed over two nights, and had gained integration on the 2nd night. Very classy Hawkes Bay Chardonnay, with finesse and balance that is hard to find even on more expensive Chardonnay from the region.

Toasty caramel nose, steely notes. Fabulous through the palate, lovely balance and length. Very elegent, and very much in balance.
