2023 Chardonnay Bannockburn

November 2024 – Jancisrobinson.com, Julia Harding MW, 17 Subtly spiced citrus. Creamy, beautifully modulated among some overly stylised wines. Really smart Chardonnay that balances fruit and winemaking and finishes with salty freshness. (JH) 14%, Drink 2024 – 2030 October 2024 – The Real Review, Stephen Wong MW,  97/100 ***** Subtle notes of vanilla rice pudding and flint give way to floral and sweet herb aromas. The palate, initially tight and firm, slowly opens up to reprise the bouquet along with layers of white fruit, chalk and fine-boned pithy phenolics which all lie within a sleek, polished structure. Elegant, detailed and compact, with mid-weight flavours tucked neatly into a delicately crisp package. It will develop nicely in the mid to long term. Drink: 2025 – 2038 November 2024, JamesSuckling.com, James Suckling, 94 points. Refined mineral aromas of lemon peel, apple skin, orange blossoms and flint. The palate is light- to medium-bodied, giving notes of Asian pears, mandarin pith, puff pastry and lime curd. Tightly wound, framed by high-tension acidity. Drink or hold. Screw cap.
