Woodlands Chloe Chardonnay 2012
Cloaking a powerful core of rather subdued fruit that will certainly explode with time in the bottle, it reveals a faintly meaty, smoky bouquet of faintly tropical, ruby grapefruit and pineapple-like notes backed by nutty, creamy oak plus nuances of ginger and nutmeg. Long and creamy, with deep flavours of grapefruit, peach and melon tightly contained by vanilla oak and bright lemony acids, it finishes with lingering nuances of smoked meats.

Woodlands
Established in 1973, Woodlands is still enjoying a stunning renaissance that shows no signs of slackening. It has developed its own house style - almost a prerequisite for greatness in wine - of deeply perfumed, pristine fruit integrated with fresh, fine-grained oak and underpinned by a classically fine, chalky backbone, often revealing the kind of dusty, dried herb qualities more often seen in Bordeaux than Australian cabernet. There's again an impressively even consistency and elegance about the current releases, as well as Woodlands' typical cellaring potential. Again, it's hard to pick highlights out of a collection of highlights.
