This is the reserve Chardonnay, Pinot Noir blend. 65% Chardonnay, 35% Pinot Noir.
A wonderfully complex wine that while having 5 years of lees age still looks refreshingly youthful and bright. Acid creates tension on the palate with a touch of savoriness starting to develop.
Quite toasty mature bouquet; the palate very dry and a trifle austere, with firm acidity. It jars, the acidity is strident and the finish a little hard. But it's a very good wine all the same.
