Elephant Hill Salome Chardonnay 2016 Hawkes Bay

Distinctive bouquet with an oak centric beginning - toasty, nutty and spicy attack. A package of citrus and ripe stone fruit flavours follow. Dry, full-bodied and rich in flavours from oak, acidity, some wood tannins and flavours of the vineyard from citrus and peach, apple and nutty oak flavours. Complex, youthful and needing integration time or food if opened before 2020. Best from 2020 through 2028.
