Kumeu River

Maté's Vineyard Chardonnay

Vied for top Chardonnay at #matteroftasteNYC between the Paul Hobbs and the Cullen. About as good as it gets in the new world. Burgundy sensibility meets the new world. — 10 years ago

Cullen Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc Sémillon Blend 2012

Drunk without food, which is wrong for this wine. In a pretty good spot, beautiful nose of creamy oak, white flowers, grassy tones and lemon citrus. Piercing, racy acidity on the palate, which has a squeeze of barely ripe lemon softened by the oak influence. Assertive and fairly long, it wants time and food but has character and class. — 11 years ago

Domaine William Fèvre

Vaudésir Chablis Grand Cru Chardonnay 2005

Following discussion last week re Chablis @Ira Schwartz this 2005 Vaudesir Grand Cru showed very well. Nose of mineral/oyster shell with cut white flower notes. Restrained elegance with softening acids. Less is more! After 6 hours starting to show honeyed notes and not dissimilar to a top quality Australian Chablis style like Cullen Kevin John Chardonnay. Chablis is 2005 vintage. — 10 years ago

Le Macchiole

Paleo Bolgheri Cabernet Franc 1999

1999 vintage. 85% Cab Sauvignon 15% Cab Franc. Tawny rim. Classic left bank Bordeaux nose. Dusty, Bay Leaf, Geranium notes. Lacking some mid palate fruit. Was going to have an International taste off with Moss Wood Cullen and Dominus all from 1999. This super Tuscan would have lost out in this illustrious company despite its gorgeous nose. — 10 years ago

Just a beautiful wine. Elegant but gutsy. Fruit still very much to the fore. Nice secondary flavours coming into play. A stunner with plenty of life ahead. — 11 years ago

Besserat de Bellefon

Cuvée des Moines Brut Blanc de Blancs Chardonnay

Small champagne tasting at Edinburgh airport. Blanc de Blanc versus regular NV. The BdB was far better in every respect; finer, more rounded, though a little short. Full of crisp cold-pressed apple juice and fine prickly bubbles. A very food-friendly low-dosage wine that cut through the Cullen Skink perfectly! — 10 years ago

Cape Mentelle

Margaret River Chardonnay 2009

Wow; how maturing #margaretriver #chardonnay does vary; see recent #cullen #2009 which was brassy, this gleaming green and plenty of it; #cullen restrained, this #capementelle is butch; nose power of smoke or burnt things, bottle age nose not simple, evidence of lees/ mlf from the smoke; palate chunky, lime juice, burnt toast you taste in 30 yo Eden Valley riesling; juicy smoke; rich, not terribly drying, acid taut, 13%, AUD 35, full bodied, no apparent reason for it to fade for a while; contained power. #uncorkedandcultivated #wineandfoodtours — 10 years ago
