2020 Deep Woods 'Reserve' Chardonnay Magnum
98 Points James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com
Margaret River chardonnay at its rich, piercing and powerful best here. This has such breathtaking fruit intensity with yellow-citrus, peach and green-mango fruit all intertwined and laced up with toasty oak, gun flint and spiced cream. Ripe citrus fruit and peaches explode in the mouth and wash waves of creamy, ripe fruit flesh deep through the finish. Drink or hold. Screw cap.
97 Points James Halliday, Halliday Wine Companion
Hand picked; whole-bunch pressed; fermented in new and used French oak with lees stirring. To say the wine is elegant does it no justice. It's way more than that; line, length and balance likewise. This is a barrel-by-barrel selection from a large number, ex a specific vineyard source. White peach and pink grapefruit play off against each other, oak a means to an end.
96 Points Huon Hooke, The Real Review
Light, bright straw colour, with a lot of spicy oak and some smoky, struck-flint reduction on the nose, together with grapefruit. The wine is taut and tense in the mouth, with nervy energy and drive. The line and length are impressive. A very smart chardonnay that is superb now and will reward a bit of cellar time.
