SUE COURTNEY
Dog Point Chardonnay 2006
“Talk about mealy funk and leesy wild yeasts - this wine just reeks of it. Rich, full-bodied and textural yet smooth and creamy with caramel, toasty flavours, a lightly zesty citrussy undercurrent and a savoury richness with a smoky overtone this wine is just Wow! It's a wonderfully heady, powerful, oaky, savoury and intriguing wine with additional flavours of nuts, figs and even a hint of grilled peach. Citrus brightens the very dry finish and alcohol adds sweetness………….Dog Point Marlborough Chardonnay 2006 is truly stunning, a wine you can really wrap your tongue around then glow in its pleasurable aftertaste.”
