The 2018 ‘VGW’ is a fabulous entry into the brilliant Chardonnay’s from 00 in this vintage. This fantastic Chardonnay immediately draws you in with stunning aromatics of lemon curd, Asian pear, lime zest, flinty minerals, crushed stones and vanilla blossoms all taking shape in the glass. On the palate this is equally impressive, as it possesses a wonderful textural richness, which is beautifully cut with lovely underlying acidity and lovely minerality that balances it all out. Displaying striking purity and focus, this continues to thoroughly impress as it comes to an end with a gorgeous finish marked by citrus and stoney minerals. Overall, this is a beautiful bottle of Chardonnay from 00 that should continue to drink beautifully over the next decade.
