Score 90/100 · Drink 2010-2014, Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW, Wine Advocate, Dec 2010

Shaw & Smith 2008 M3 Chardonnay gives intense tropical aromas with notes of pineapple paste, some mango and guava over whiffs of butterscotch and meal. Medium-bodied with very high, racy acidity, there’s a nice silkiness to the texture and a very long refreshing finish. Drink it now to 2014. Importer: Vintus Wines, New York, NY; tel.

Fresh apple, citrus, mineral lemon, a few sprigs of herbal freshness but not the scope of the 2005. Less oak? (RH)

Score 17/20 · Drink 2010-2015, Richard Hemming MW, jancisrobinson.com, Jun 2010

Popcorn, vegetal, pineapple; ripe and fruity but not simple, there is smoke on the length and a good citrus brightness. Dense on the mid-palate, sophisticated and satisfying. (RH)

Score 16.5/20 · Drink 2011-2014, Jancis Robinson MW, Feb 2010

Relatively rich nose and some good taut finish. Very disciplined wine with real chew and future. The acidity only just avoids being excessive but the wine has real interest. (JR)
