Howard Park Jeté Grand Vintage 2019

This delightful 2019 Chardonnay Pinot Noir blend which has had over 50 months on lees is poised and precise – a wine that impresses with its finer features rather than raw power. In peak condition, although with significant aging potential, it delivers a superb mix of citrus and melon aromas accented by crushed nuts and praline with honeyed, buttery tones just starting to emerge, but the overall feel is of a youthful wine. Impressive texture follows, with linear yet balanced acidity that holds that composure over a long and very fine finish. Super impressive.
