drink-now2021 Danbury Ridge Wine Estate, Chardonnay, Essex, England

Pale straw. The nose is very convincingly burgundian – truly savoury and like a ripe St-Aubin with a hint of struck match (avoid this if you hate this character). The PYCM (Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey) of England? Real lift and convincing fruit on the palate. Drier and more sophisticated than the 2020. Very vibrant. Should have a rather glorious future. Quite long.
