Bursting with lively concentration, this has beautifully ripe fruit, well into tangelo and apricot, wrapped in a decadent robe of fresh cream and oak spice, yet remaining neatly balanced and elegant with excellent acidity to keep everything flowing in the right direction. Just the right combination of intensity and quiet restraint to qualify as classical, this is a stylish chardonnay which will unfold in increasing layers of richness and complexity over many years. BC
