Estimate
Deep, smoky aromas of iodine, fresh herbs and roasted nuts. Extraordinary solidity and richness; almost too big for the mouth. As ripe as this is, it quite dry. Thick but fine and sharply delineated. Extraordinary finish goes on and on.
Explosive white. Impressive fat texture in this full-bodied, opulent Chardonnay. Cascades with toasted oak, caramel, mineral, tropical fruit and lots of smoky oak. So powerful...
Stunning nose of super ripe exotic fruits and dried apricot of incredible complexity. Big, broad shouldered flavors with a silky, luscious, rather textured palate impression that offers dried apple, pear, stones and earth.
Boisterous flowers, minerals, and pears discerned in its explosive aromatics. Medium-bodied and impeccably delineated as well as nuanced. Satin-textured and loaded with stones, pears, apples, toast, hints of creme brulee and vanilla bean.
...something molten and golden about the flavour with an overlay of smoke. Very chunky, savoury and intense. This should be kept a very long time.
