Pegasus Bay Chardonnay 2010, Waipara Valley, North Canterbury
Toasty, complex, integrated bouquet. Aromas of preserved citrus and baked yellow stone fruits, apricot and nectarine, vanilla cream and custard. On the palate - delicious, complex, seductive and very tasty. How amazing is this to experience - a wine with 10 years bottle age tasting complete, fully integrated and balanced. Flavours of baked custard and vanilla cream return, yellow stone fruits and citrus moments. Full-bodied with a leesy wood spice layer, just moderate acidity gently warming alcohol. Lengthy finish. A delight to experience. If you have some in your cellar - this is the time to drink it. Should still be excellent till 2024+ if stored well.
