Moss Wood Chardonnay 2020
White
Margaret River, Australia
7.8
WineSaint
Nectarine and baked citrus dominate, backed by prominent toasty oak that hasn't yet settled. The palate shows power but lacks integration. Fruit and wood still finding their balance. Chalky acidity cuts through the richness, providing necessary tension on a clean but somewhat disjointed finish. Needs three to five years for the elements to harmonize.
