"(2001) Layered with toasty new oak, brioche and peach fruit on the nose with a sheen of sweet, syrupy tropical fruit. On the palate theres a fine steely core of mineral acidity that really gives character but still powered by ripe apple and peach fruit. Has balance and length."

90 of 100 Points.
"Tom Cannavan" has rated the wine "Cloudy Bay Chardonnay" the vintage 1996 on 01.01.2000 with 90 of 100 points.
"(2000) Pale to medium gold colour, tinged with green. The nose is beautifully ripe and creamy with buttery apple fruit, pear and melon. There is an overlay of toasty oak. The palate is finely balanced with a mineral purity and more orchard fruit flavours. There is a creamy mellowness well-judged oak and a long finish, sharpened by good lime-flavoured acidity and purity of fruit. Really lovely Chardonnay."

89 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Cloudy Bay Chardonnay" the vintage 2003 with 89 of 100 points.
