Dry River Chardonnay 2008

Martinborough, New Zealand. Chardonnay. 13%. Cork.

Wonderful. Understated nose - mustard fruit, citrus which verges on lime, sap and flint. Excellent line and intensity, it explodes with vitality and yet it remains tight, focused and driven. Chalk and minerals, peach, lemon and butterscotch. Complexity and tension at once. 95. Now - 2016.

I had this the other day with much the same impression as yourself. Beautiful.
