More austere and less overtly fruity than usual with toast, citrus, grapefruit, hazelnut and spicy oak flavours supported by tangy acidity that helps drive a moderately lengthy finish. Bob Campbell MW
Tighter and more linear than usual, the 2018 Coddington Chardonnay boasts scents of pencil shavings set against a backdrop of grapefruit and pineapple. It's medium-bodied, crisp and focused, with a bright beam of acid and hints of citrus pith on the finish. Joe Czerwinski, Robert Parker Wine Advocate
