2010 Chardonnay - 94 points
Has a bit of weight and plenty of flavour as is appropriate for the region. Dried pear, lime spider and an attractive flintiness – beautifully made with savoury and saline characters complementing the fruit. Subtle toasty oak, balanced acidity and a long finish complete the picture. There’s a minor level of alcohol warmth but I reckon it’s OK. More to White Burgundy/Margaret River in style than Modern Australian/Margaret River, I’d suggest. In a photo finish, I’m giving it a gold medal score.
