The 2019 Chardonnay River Block has intense scents of almonds, saline, lemon peel and floral perfume with notes of beeswax and graphite. Medium-bodied, the palate is satiny and energetic, perfectly balancing bright mineral and citrus character with savory, nutty undertones, and it has a long, seamless finish. It deserves another couple of years in bottle or a long decant.
