The 2014 Chardonnay comes from vines planted in 1979 and sees one-third new oak for nine months in barrel. The nose is understated, well defined and demonstrates fine tension - hints of almond and nutmeg gradually unfurling in the glass. The palate is fresh and taut with a keen line of acidity, brisk and tensile in the mouth, with just a slight tinniness on the finish that should dissipate with time. I like the Chardonnay - lots of nerve here.
