"Butter, lemon and apricot on the nose † very nicely balanced, leesy notes. Rounded with emphatic but balanced acid. Light body, underpowered, fairly simple. (RH)"

"While the estate Chardonnay is powerful and savory and the Robinson is delicate and spicy, the 2020 The Moorooduc McIntyre Chardonnay is full-throttle in many ways. Boundless fruit rolls into the mouth, littering the palate with peach, stewed apple, fennel flower and hints of brioche; this is verging on opulent (saved by the savory phenolics that trickle through the wine like lifeblood) and vital. This is a really good, powerful Chardonnay, but it's tight too."
