91+ points Lisa Perrotti-Brown (Wine Advocate): "The 2009 Lion’s Tooth Chardonnay has expressive lemon curd and orange blossom aromas with hints of pineapple, buttered toast, meal, ginger and chalk dust. Concentrated in the mouth with a medium-full body and excellent mid-palate richness, it has refreshing acidity contrasting the silken texture and lingering long into the finish. Drink it now to 2016+. (Oct 2011)"

Producer notes: "One tonne/acre from this steeply inclined, east facing home block; biodynamic vineyard. Deep, brilliant straw gold. Emergent aromas of sliced pear, hot stone, hawthorn (blossom), and alyssum. Immediately dense and powerful, rich but stern; something nearly solid about this wine. An intense kind of inwardness, the wine folding in upon itself, condensing to an astonishing saline core. Enormous force and length, with alternating assertions of golden flavour - ripe pear, toast, flower honey, nuts - and chalk-hard structure. Only 50 cases produced."
