Andrea Shapiro rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

A decent not overly-oaky Chardonnay from Chile. Fabulous value on this one. Pale lemon green colour with an aromatic bouquet the note in here that really stands out is the coconut it goes on for days! Also, ripe pear, golden delicious apples and sweet green blossoms. Flavours come alive, with green sliced apples with a touch of brown oxidation sweetness, lemon curd, dried leaves persimmon, soft cheese skins and fresh basil. Medium plus levels of biting acidity with a rounded centre and finish. A buttery, rich mouthfeel. Suitable for shrimp tempura - tasted April 2018
Sharon Lécuyer rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Aromas of apple and pear. A bit effervescent on the palette with citrus and stone fruit and not in your face with oak, which is nice! This would be a great summer sipper. Pair with with grilled chicken, cold salads, or an antipasto spread.

Jennifer Havers rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

Nice aroma of pear, peach and golden apple. Slight notes of honey balanced with fruit. Fuller bodied, and rich. Pair with herb roasted chicken.
Simon Chen rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

A hint of toasted wood and oak on the nose. On the palate, it has good body and acid but balances well with the rich butteriness. Pair with oily fishes like sea bass or sablefish

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
