Mission Hill 2005 Chardonnay Reserve
Intense, very spicy nose with yellow apple, tobacco, butter, nutmeg and lemon wax complexity. Mid-weight, firm, almost austere texture, with lemon acidity and loads of wood spice from American and French barrels. Very good length. Best from late 2008 to 2010. Vintages Essential.
