Gorgeous intensity. Posed with fresh pear, wet stone, cool salinity. Very precise and ordered but quietly delicious. Hints of green Apple and ocean spray. Really classy and excellent — 25 days ago

Beautifully light and lifted. Salinity and piercing delicate citrus. Wet stone and persistent light but powerful mid palate. Fantastic. Young. — a month ago

Age is just a number. Still has strong, heady aromas and flavors of apricots, stone fruits though no more tropical notes.after some time, aromas of creme caramel. Powerful backbone of acidity, tempered by flavors of herbs and bitters. Beautiful but with some complexity that comes with maturity. Paired with a slice of basque cheesecake. — 2 months ago

9.5

A pale lemon yellow in colour - quite youthful looking for a 12 year old Chardonnay. Aromatics of white peach - mealy and nutty notes, still with a nice acid cut at the finish. Drinking at its peak. Fuller than some Marg River Chardonnays I’ve had lately like Xanadu and Fraser Gallop. I have had richer Art Series Chardonnays but personally I love the balance in this. — a month ago

9.0

A wine from Jorge Ordóñez and his winemaking team. Pale lemon color with crisp stone fruit and citrus aromas. On the palate flavors of apple, pear and melon with lemon citrus, consistent offering from La Cana. Medium finish ending with fruit, spice and mineral tang. Nice value. — 2 months ago

Kiwi notes on the nose. Crunchy palate with guava and white melon. Textured and weighty. With a nice butterscotch note on the mid palate, combined with moderate acidity and sweetness. No food required. — 3 months ago

Pale lemon color with aromas of ripe fruits, citrus, vanilla and spice scents. On the palate complex flavors of apple, peach, pineapple and lemon citrus, well balanced with acidity on a nice mouthfeel. Long finish ending with oak, vanilla, mineral and citrus notes, will continue to age. A beautiful Chardonnay. Pair this with a Swordfish steak topped with balsamic roasted tomatoes. — a month ago

Crisp green apple, lemon, jasmine, and peach. Lighter and fresher than most Napa Chardonnay but very flavorful and bright. — 2 months ago

9.1

The same Tempier game - deep, textbook, best at cellar temp for nuanced aromas and weighted viscosity.

2018 is losing its fruit, at the end of the window where hints and dried versions of fresh fruit and spices still hang around.

Dried orange peel, grapefruit, peach, and soft red melon and furry raspberry.
