2014 Paul Cluver Chardonnay Elgin South Africa

(93 pts) “The 2014 Chardonnay has an attractive nose of dried honey, dried mango and a touch of walnut that is very well defined. The palate is fresh and crisp with harmonious almond and hazelnut notes infusing the tropical tones on the long and tender finish. One drop will never be enough! Another great Chardonnay from Andries Burger … (who) has conjured one of the standouts of the vintage, white or red. Just a showstopper of a Chardonnay that gives a lot of Burgundy a run for its money (and I've tasted a lot of white Burgundy). If you want to know how good South African whites can be, then look not further than Paul Cluver.” Wine Advocate
