No doubt about it this is a serious Chardonnay label. Fresh relative to age, sinewy, just a touch lean from a fruit weight perspective but the class carries. Light nuts and matchstick, background oak, citrus. I would have picked as the Hills. Early in the window and can see a few more years.

Can’t escape the green grass on initial palate. A bit of a drag but otherwise a great wine. Light lemon taste. Any Chardonnay with Tiers in its name is bound to be great! Had with some special Japanese takeaway from Mr. Ryu restaurant.

Got to rate this more every time as the ageing adds to the complex development of the wine. Fresh mown green grass nose and follow through to the palate. Fresh green stone fruit. Lemon and mineral tastes add to the crisp freshness of this wine. Had with some roast spatchcock chicken.
Total class & elegance. Refined drinking, entering its peak drinking window. Peach, a touch of nectarine - long clean lines. I usually like a bit of oak - however little showing. Can not fault - it does not get much better than this!
