Cloudy Bay Chardonnay 2001

Marlborough, South Island, New ZealandVery leesy, flinty, mineral garlic nose with grapefruit rind, melon and creamy vanilla streaks. Ripe, round and slightly oily but very elegant. Melon, citrus, pear, mineral creamy vanilla flavours are consistent with very nice balance and acidity. All barrel fermented, this is sold out so look for the 2002 in early Spring 2004.Tasted: 15 October 2003Tasted by: Stuart TobePrices:
