Lawson's Dry Hills Reserve Chardonnay 2021, Marlborough
Fabulous bouquet with complexity and power, a core of barrel spices, raw cashew nut and roasted yellow fleshed stone fruits, stony earthy qualities and natural seductive charm. A youthful wine touches the palate first with a mix of fresh and roasted stone fruits, new and aged wood flavours, tannin and acid textures then grapefruits and spice. Full-bodied with a youthful energy, salivating mouthfeel with a roasted nut, wood spice and core of vairteal fruit. A delicious wine that needs cellar time to develop and settle in. Best drinking from late 2023 through 2029+.
