  Very nice surprise. Really good showing. Surprisingly youthful, good clean citrus lime. Not overly oaked or worked. Maybe a touch disjointed, the acidity slightly raw on the finish.

  Wow, very youthful, and a dead ringer for a top quality Chablis - medium yellow, flinty, lime zest, citrus nose - def a lot of minerality going on - palate is very crisp, very youthful - this could go another 20 years!! - long finish - a vaguely soap gum element to the minerals and citrus pith and essential oil - very pure, very deep flavours - I wish we'd have waited, this might've been even better in a few years

  Medium yellow. Pronounced aromas of stone fruit, vanilla, butter, smoke, nuts. Developing. Dry palate, medium + acidity, medium alcohol, medium + body, pronounced flavours similar to the nose, perhaps some more tropical fruits too. Long finish. Outstanding Chardonnay, very well made, good fruit concentration balanced by the acidity, oak well integrated, starting to develop tertiary complexity, but definitely has the structure and concentration to age for many years to come. So nice to have a really good Chardonnay with several years of life that has absolutely no hint of premature oxidation. Why do I continue to buy Burgundy???

  Bright straw-green; has the poised elegance that has become the hallmark of Vasse Felix Heytesbury Chardonnay, every component finely detailed and in balance with every other component; it is driven by its stone fruit in the first instance, but with oak and acidity also contributing to the texture and complexity of the wine."
