Jules Taylor OTQ Single Vineyard Chardonnay 2019, Marlborough
Complex and layered bouquet with aromas of spices and ripe orchard fruits, layers of new oak weaving through a core of fruit and toastiness. On the palate - full-bodied, complex, fruity, layered and enticing. Grapefruit and peach, apple, lemon and quince. Medium+ acidity and oak pushes along the texture and flavours of fruits, oak and spices. Still very youthful with high energy and plenty of palate appeal. Lengthy finish, coming into balance so best from late 2021 or early 2022 through 2026+.
