Medium gold. Pineapple, nutmeg nose. Full bodied, quite acidic. Long finish. I found this a little closed with some peach & passion fruit on the palate. May improve although I note some of the experts suggest should be drinking up by 2022-24.

The nose is a bit monolithic and it got better after 30 mins in a decanter. Yellow fruits, chalk and some wood but not overwhelming. On the palate, there is a good balance and freshness. Restrained power. probably needs a couple of year to open up. I would buy this again.

New Zealand micro trip; 5/6/2019-5/9/2019 (North Island, New Zealand): Standard worked chardonnay boxes all ticked…Plenty of oak, malolactic, a little peachy tending tropical fruit under this. Adjusted acid (?) is quite sharp, the fruit a little flat. Meh.
