Rupert & Rothschild Vignerons Baroness Nadine Western Cape Chardonnay 2010 90 Points



R&R Chardonnay have always been expressive, yet keeping a fine line between showy profile and elegance, the 2010 vintage are definitely livelier than previous vintages, and not as creamy, showing a pale bright straw with yellow green hue, bursting with citrus and tangerine note, roast nuts, quite airy in style.

Dry with dash residual sugar for broadness and texture, rich mouth feels, there is concentration here, yet fresh with moderate plus acidity, smoky complexity, long and persistent, now until 2018+
