Tasting notes
100% Chardonnay. Not much nose. Pretty taut and aggressive. This seems to be fashioned for long-term ageing. I would age it quite a bit longer. NO compromises. No easy dosage to cover up the rough edges. Some depth of flavour and certainly no shortage of seriousness. Neat finish. (JR)

Gold trophy winner at the annual English and Welsh Wine of the Year Competition, organised by the United Kingdom Vineyards Association (UKVA) and the only one in the world to have a panel consisting entirely of Masters of Wine. All wines are judged blind. Cream, brioche, apple crumble, lemon sherbet, a little flint character. Pin-cushion mousse, really soft and refined with good core concentration and very lengthy finish. Light grassy herbaceous tones add a little complexity, and this has good potential for some years in bottle. (RH)
