The 2022 Lion's Tooth Chardonnay is nutty, complex, wide and concentrated, with a stream of yellow fruits and briney acidity. It's a gorgeous wine, one that I recall with great fondness when I think of it. It has beeswax, lemongrass, yellow peach, mustard leaf/greens, curry leaf and saline threads woven through the finish. This is another great wine from this vineyard this year. 13% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.
Botanicals collection. Waikari vineyard. Cask sample. Serious line to this wine with beautiful balance. Firm and fruity at the same time. Real presence in the mouth. (JR)
