Tasting notes

Stuart Pigott, JamesSuckling.com, October 2018 98

Really seductive nose of candied lemons, honeysuckle and vanilla, then stunning concentration and elegance on the medium to full palate, the finish very ripe and polished. Delicious now, but with a great future ahead of it. Screw cap.

Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW, Wine Advocate (228), December 2016 94+

The 2015 Mate's Vineyard Chardonnay is a cracking example of this vineyard/vintage, starting with a youthfully reticent nose of lemon curd, grapefruit juice and peach blossoms with hints of crushed stones, lime leaves and brioche. The medium-bodied palate is tightly wound with an electric backbone of freshness supporting the intense citrus and mineral flavors, finishing with great length. It needs another 3-4 years in bottle to really get into its groove.

Derek Smedley MW, DerekSmedleyMW.co.uk, September 2018 93

Yellow peaches and apricots the nose has a rich mix of fruits the palate breadth and depth. The supple fleshiness on the mid palate in underpinned by citrus a streak of freshness and although richer at the back the finish is flinty and bright. 2018-27

Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, March 2017 18+

Big and brawny but not that expressive aromatically. All potential rather than reality. Edgy and grainy and intense.Drink 2020-2034

Nick Stock, JamesSuckling.com, August 2017 97

This is an expression of many important things: old vines, family heritage, Mendoza clone and proven cellaring pedigree. It smells of white peaches with attractive hazelnutty oak (30% new), lemon peel and flinty elements. The palate delivers a powerful combination of complexity and refinement. This wine is succulently fine, unashamedly ripe and enticingly taut. The masterpiece. Drink now.
