2005 Journey's End Destination Stellenbosch Chardonnay 85 Points

2005 Journey’s End Destination Stellenbosch Chardonnay 85 Points

Ripe lemon, pineapple glace, vanilla, with hints of toast. Rich mouth feels, lanolin richness, clean, fresh with aftertaste of barley, very good length, now until 2016
Very New World / Californian in style, for fans of big oaky Chardonnay
One of the few Cape and Stellenbosch Chardonnay that improve in the bottle, as wellas having a very good cellaring aptitude of up to 10 years from vintage.
Might as well score an extra 2 point with bottle maturity.
