Robertson, Constitution Road, Robertson, South Africa, 2015

Tasted by: Tim Atkin MW, John Hoskins MW, Greg Sherwood MW
(at Decanter's April 2017 issue South African Chardonnay over £7.99 Tasting, 30 Nov 2016)
Drinking Window: 2017 - 2019
Toasty, spicy and leesy with a hint of confected sweetness from vanilla pod oak. Intense, with integrated brulée notes and massive concentration. There's cream, but it's overplayed and unbalanced. A big wine that works well.
