Howard Park, Chardonnay, Margaret River, 2025

Bright and clear in the glass. Rich, layered and complex. Opulence with fig and stone fruit, plenty of struck match, hints of vanilla and latte cream, sesame oil., smoked ham hock, baked shellfish, lemon zest, grapefruit and hints of brioche. The label’s reputation is retained, power and presence with (expected) ripe fruit profile. Long length with plenty of class, texture and drive.
