A fine vintage for Judge I reckon. This was singing with layers of complexity. Unctuous and saturated. Burnt rubber and popcorn. Rich lemon and pear. Strong undercurrent of mineral and flint. This is a big dollop of Chardonnay but never overdone. With grilled snapper, it was without equal.

Laser focused lemon and citrus. A joy to drink.

I love the glycerine mouth feel of this wine. Just outstanding how it evolves. Toast, kiwi, nectar, nice acid. Just beautiful.
