James Suckling: 96 Points
A complex chardonnay with yellow citrus as well as lemon-curd and creamy tones. Light hazelnut too. The palate has such all-encompassing fresh peachy flavors and builds impressively through the long full finish. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

Possibly the most complete Hunting Hill Chardonnay I've tasted in youth the 2020 provides a harmonious melt-in-your-mouth impression. It has breadth and concentration but retains a sense of elegance on the midpalate before finishing with precision and length. Yes there's a little bit of flint character too but then Hunting Hill is known to be reductive; give it time. Like Forrest Gump it runs through a finish line and keeps on going effortlessly. There's no box of chocolates here though; it's all white nectarine citrus white flowers and a touch of smoked nuts. -- Rebecca Gibb MW
