Jules Taylor Chardonnay 2019, Marlborough

White peaches and lemon, crushed stones and cashew, vanilla spices and grapefruit and new French oak present a bouquet of completeness, enticement and variety. On the palate - wood spices and yellow stone fruit, chalky textures from fine wood tannins, grapefruit and stony earthy qualities all leading to a lengthy youthful and dry finish. Balanced and well made. Drinking best from late 2020 through 2023.
