{"product_id":"cullen-kevin-john-chardonnay-2025","title":"Cullen 'Kevin John' Chardonnay 2025","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis one is a little out of the box, but I really liked it. It just felt distinct in such a pedigree line, not saying it isn’t pedigree in its way, but it sits in a more looser knit, ephemeral, left of centre bent of chardonnay than I expected. Like Cossard of Burgundy, or some of the pedigree wines of Tissot of Jura, when topped up. Which I love.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMike Bennie: Lime blossom, sake like qualities very distinct here, cumquat, lemon curd, strong saline minerality, a touch of white balsamic uplift with gingery notes and a very good sluice of cloudy green apple juice all going on between the bouquet and the palate. Very refreshing and lively, actually, incredibly compelling as it shape shifts in the glass. It lines up more squarely with au naturale expressions of chardonnay than those of the banker\/lawyer lunch set might like with their steak and cheddar, but in that a wine of immense complexity, purity and drive. Drink in its vigorous youth. 96 Points\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGary Walsh: Lots of grip, yellow peach, pine-lime and mangosteen, almond meal, some spice, cedar, aniseed and floral things, a jasmine rice thing happening. Lots of flavour, a little creamy and tropical, a bright cut of grapefruit acidity, chalky and generous with excellent length.  A nutty sake-like thing is noted, but appreciated for its more wild styling. Young now, and it looked more cohesive the next day, which augers well for longevity. Lively. Quite some sizzle. An excellent release. 96 Points.
