Pineapple and a lactic hint on the nose; showing less oak today than the 2000 reserve. Less dense but more fruity than the 2000, with very intense, penetrating flavors of pineapple, citrus skin, minerals and truffle. Pure, stylish and still tightly wound, and very long on the aftertaste. I don't think I've tasted a more promising chardonnay from South Africa.
