Cullen Kevin John Chardonnay 2012

Made according to the biodynamic calendar from vine to glass. Whole bunch-pressed and wild yeast fermented on French oak (one-third new). Has the usual Cullen magic, pitting very complex fruit against fine, taut acidity, yet making to appear that the two were made for each other; the length of the wine is prodigious, its finesse equally extraordinary. Reached towards the end of a 100-wine tasting, I committed the mortal tasting sin of swallowing some. Rating 98. To 2027. - James Halliday, The Australian Wine Companion 2015.
