Cloudy Bay
Marlborough Chardonnay
Marlborough, South Island, New Zealand
Pale lemon with aromas of stone fruits with wafts of blossom, spice & smoke. On the palate rich ripe apple and pear with a touch of zesty citrus fruits, crisp, with vanilla notes. Nice creamy mouthfeel, vivid acidity, medium+ finish ending with citrus mineral and floral spice character.

Thick but not too oaked. Lots of hints of Cream butter. High in citrus and ripe apples. A nose to keep sniffing.

Consistently good chardonnay. Crisper, more fruity and refreshing than many, not huge on butter or oak. Enjoyed with tongue tacos!

Light straw colour with a certain energy to it. Lightly smoky bouquet with little hints of peach and tropical fruit. A ripe (but not overly so) palate which is quite mouth filling, with oak and lemon citrus along with some apricot. Almost along the lines of a Montrachet, especially once it has had a little time to breathe (clearly nothing to do with the 14% alcohol!). Not a "wow" drink but I was nevertheless pleasantly surprised given the CB brand has often in recent years rested on its laurels a little too much.

I had great expectations but I found this wine too sweet (amabile) for my taste. CHARDONNAY 2013
