Black Barn Vineyards Block 5 Chardonnay 2020, Hawkes Bay

Intriguing, complex and new, primary and loud with a bouquet of yellow peach and baked apple, lemon and grapefruit layered between scents of new oak, cashew nut and baking spice barrel qualities. Bold and expressive, ripe and smoky. Full-bodied with a rounded creamy texture, flavours of stone fruits and apple, citrus and new wood qualities. Tannins are fine and acidity offer contrast to the core fruit and oak sweetness , as well as adding a fresh youthful quality, and there’s a fine gun-flint note. Complex, lengthy, and well made, Best drinking from mod to late 2023 through 2030+. Overall, a fantastic wine.
