Alles über Tony Bish Skeetfield Chardonnay 2022 0.75 L Flasche 2022

- 97 Punkte Cameron Douglas MS: A complex and appealing bouquet of white fleshed fruits and gun flint, apple and new barrel, layers of fine lees suggesting chalk and fresh unroasted nut. Equally complex and delicious on the palate with a crisp and finely textured mouthfeel, acidity is on point carrying a fine lees and saline texture, flavours of white fleshed stone fruits and citrus are persistent adding weight and finesse, complexity comes from the synergies and purity of fruit, spice and nut. Such a well made wine reflecting its vineyard and expert wine making. With a lengthy finish this wine will reward those who invest and cellar. Best drinking from 2024 through 2030+.
- 96 Punkte The Real Review, Bob Campbell: Impressive chardonnay with concentration, elegance, purity and subtle power. Flavours include savourybran biscuit, poyster shell, grapefruit, spicy French oak, ginger and pepper. Nicely balanced chardonnay with an impressively lingering finish. Drink: 2023
- 2028.
- 95 Punkte Tom Cannavan : Old vine and dry-farmed, the Chardonnay was whole bunch pressed and 100 barrel fermented and matured, with 60 new Taransaud French oak. Fermentation was with wild yeasts and regular batonnage has produced a wine that straddles flinty complexity and a juicy peach and grapefruit zestiness. There's a coolness of apple and lemon, but also a burgeoning sense of more exotic richness. Supple and fluid on the tongue, the lightly slippery texture carries plenty of fruit, but that little wisp of gunflint and the nutty creaminess of the barrels completes a compelling picture.
- 95 Punkte Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy: This is very appealing. A touch of smoky reduction adds charm as there is plenty of ripe fruit underlying. Precise and poised with a thread of succulent acidity running through the palate. Good length. Drink from 2024-2029.
- 5 Sterne Michael Cooper: Hand-picked from mature vines at Ohiti, this classy, vigorous wine was fermented and aged for a year in French oak barriques. Fragrant, mouthfilling and savoury, it has concentrated, yet delicate, peachy, citrusy, biscuity flavours, oak-derived complexity, fresh acidity and a lengthy finish. Best drinking mid-2025+.
- 17,5 Punkte Jancis Robinson: Horribly heavy bottle. Old vines, dry farmed. Barrel-fermented. RS 0 gl. Rich, creamy, mealy aroma. Oaky but not toastyspicy. Rich, harmonious and beautifully fresh. A very classy, elegant Chardonnay. 2024-2032. ;
