Shaw and Smith Chardonnay M3 Vineyard 2002
Adelaide Hills, Mount Lofty Ranges, Adelaide, South Australia, AustraliaCreamy, spicy vanilla, lees, honey, floral, citrus aromas with a hint of mango and green apple. Rich, round, elegant style but very balanced with crisp acidity. Slightly oily, sweet fruit entry with lime, green apple, creamy vanilla, butterscotch and melon flavours. Long dry, mineral, green apple butterscotch finish. Good now but will improve over the next 2 years, a fine effort and quite a comment on the potential of Adelaide Hills.Tasted: 27 September 2004Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $44.95 | 750ml | Specialty |
