2015 Bass Phillip Premium Chardonnay
96 points, Jeremy Oliver
“Profoundly concentrated, this stylish and ageworthy chardonnay unfolds a complex, faintly meaty and waxy bouquet of stonefruit, lemon and melon backed by creamy, buttery oak and nuances of ginger, cinnamon and coriander. Its smooth, luscious core of assertive fruit drives down the palate towards a faintly nervy, brittle acidity, finishing with exceptional length and balance.”
93 points, Campbell Mattinson, Wine Front
“Less than 100 dozen produced. The intensity goes up a notch, so too the richness, so too the extension of flavour through the finish. This is fresh with acidity, encased in sweet oak, prettied with floral aromas and driven by stonefruit and lime. The aftertaste adds steel and bran to the equation. Arguably the most important impression though is that it’s pretty bloody delicious.”
