<p><b>90 points</b> - Classical Chardonnay aromas, some lees and barrel notes with stone fruit. Full bodied, good amplitude, is there a dab of sweetness in the middle? Well made, textural and dense, big presence. Some spice here. Maybe too barrel driven.</p><p>Tasted on Mon, Jul 29, 2024.</p>

<p><b>90 points</b> - Light pink peach. Peachy, rose like aromas. Clean, fresh and well made. There is a distinctly creamy, textural side to all of these wines. Good presence, very accessible. Peachy flavours are quite seductive.</p><p>Tasted on Mon, Jul 29, 2024.</p>
