2020 Bewl Water Bacchus
4/20/2024 - andrewstevenson.com wrote: 86 Points
Very pale straw.
Notably perfumed nose with citrus, papaya and a chalky minerality.
Quite rich on the palate - certainly more rich than many English bacchus wines, with quite ripe, almost tropical fruit.
Feels fairly low acidity until the finish, when there's evident acidity, if feeling rather muted.
Not at all unpleasant, but a little curious, and a little industrial feeling compared to most other bacchus wines I've tried.

2015 Castlewood Vineyard Chardonnay HIX Reserve Cuvée

Mid straw. Very persistent bubblestream.
Quite a powerful nose, with big orchard fruit with touches of cider and of mead.
Lovely palate. Very rounded and creamy. Extremely approachable and very drinkable even without food. Acidity feels fairly low.
Huge length.
I very much like this.

2021 Gusbourne Winemaker's Edition Chardonnay Middle Barn South Vineyard East Sussex

Okay, coming back to this after two thirds of the bottle had been left in the fridge overnight, and it's starting to show more desirable traits.
Definitely a bit more on the nose with some white flowers and notable minerality showing.
Definitely still lean on the attack, but in the mouth it's much fuller and more buttery. Still powerful acidity, especially towards and the finish and after.
Quite remarkably improved.
If you have any of this, leave it 5 or 10 years, or at least open it and decant it a minimum of 24 hours ahead.
