2023 Shaw + Smith Lenswood Vineyard Chardonnay 750ml Bottle

'A bit of struck match here, but also lots of nashi pear, fairly dripping with flavour, cinnamon laced pasty dough, grapefruit, nougat, a bit of a salty manzanilla tang too, mint and chamomile. It’s saline and savoury, a powdery grip to texture, aniseed perfume, and again that salty pistachio thing on a finish of excellent length. Sophisticated style. Saline. Very adult. And very very good. Yes.' 96 pts - Gary Walsh, The Wine Front
