Woodlands Chloe Chardonnay 2006
Classically tight, focused, intensely flavoured, cleanly and precisely defined, with a presently rather closed expression of citrus and tropical fruit superbly crafted around fine, refreshing mineral acids. Backed by dusty, vanilla and clove-like oak, its lime/grapefruit fragrance reveals mineral undertones. Lean and pristine, its palate has focus and finesse, finishing long and clean, with a hint of lanolin. Keep it!

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.
