2023 Felton Road Block 2 Chardonnay 1.5L Magnum

Bottle: 1.5L Magnum 17.5 points - Jancisrobinson.com, Julia Harding MW – November 2024  Smells a little richer than the Bannockburn but still restrained and elegant. Creamy, caressing texture suggesting old or big barrels. Freshness and finesse married and a finely grained texture. Tight and mouth-watering. GV (JH) 14%, Drink 2025 – 2033 96 points  – JamesSuckling.com, James Suckling – November 2024 Mineral-driven aromas of flint, green apples, lemon peel, crushed river stones and lime blossoms. The palate is light-to medium-bodied with a laserlike acidity and underlying power, giving notes of pears, orange peel and tangerines. High-energy and craftily constructed with layers of flavour and mineral tension. Excellent. Drink or hold. Screw cap. 95 points - The Real Review, Stephen Wong MW, November 2024 Pithy, floral, chamomile, restrained. Plush, pillowy texture on the mid-palate with ripe apple stone-fruit, a hint of spice and a zingy sherbet finish. A more delicate and restrained, pithy, herbal style designed for ageing. Drink: 2025 – 2036
