Bewertungen

Cameron Douglas MS: 95/100 (Outstanding). What an excellent example with immediately captivating aromas of stone fruits and sweet citrus, a leesy savoury spice and stony flinty complexity. The oak adds layers of spice and some wood smoke. The bouquet is complex, layered and enticing. On the palate - plenty of weight and richness, but not so much as to detract from the essence of what Chardonnay is all about - in this case - power, finesse, layers of texture and a core of fruit reflecting fresh and baked stone fruits, grapefruit, baked apple and baking spices of French oak. Excellent texture and length, well made and ready to drink from 2022 through 2028.

Decanter: 95/100

Julia Harding, MW für JancisRobinson.com: 18/20. Seductive and well-judged 'reductive' (smoky, struck-match) aroma and really toasty as it opens up, something cedary. Very Coche Dury but, most importantly, there is the fruit intensity to carry off this winemaking style. Nutty, creamy, mealy citrus. So many things going on that it makes you slow down to try to enjoy all this complexity. Deep, deliciously fresh and incredibly persistent with an aftertaste of savoury/mineral citrus… Classy and got better and better over the few days post opening.

VINOUS - Rebecca Gibb MW: 94/100.  ... a wine of excellent purity, offering up nectarine and lemon fruit flavours: full solids have imbued a distinctive flinty note, while the savoury, nutty Character derived from the wood adds layers and will integrate further with another year in bottle.Drinking window: 2023-2030.

Bob Campbell, MW: 93/100. Intense, edgy chardonnay, which combines moderately opulent tree fruit, peach and nectarine flavours with taut citrus characters and a pronounced oyster-shell influence. Youthful and slightly raw at this stage but with the potential to mellow with bottle age.

James Suckling (JamesSuckling.com): 93/100 & Top 100 Weine aus Neuseeland 2021. Aromas of dried mango, lime curd, coriander, honeysuckle and salted butter with some meaty and smoky undertones. Full-bodied with tangy acidity. Concentrated and rich, yet well structured, with a bright backbone of acidity and phenolic texture. Drink or hold. Screw cap

Michael Cooper: 5 Sterne & Treat yourself. This notably classy, single-vineyard wine was hand-harvested in the Waihopai Valley, fermented and matured in French oak puncheons (partly new), and bottled unfined and unfiltered. Richly fragrant, it is mouthfilling, complex and generous, with deep peach and grapefruit flavours, finely integrated oak, and a tightly structured, long, seamless finish. Best drinking 2023+.
