White wine

McHenry Hohnen, Hazel’s Vineyard Chardonnay 2012

RRP N/A in UK

The wines are getting younger and the aromas are more complex. This has tobacco and fresh-cut ripe pear underscored by acacia, woody aromatic freshness, some honeysuckle and white pepper, deep layers of fresh lapsang souchong – amazing – and very powerful, full bodied, focussed, incredibly long finish still pushing out sense of fruit.
