Tasting Notes
Citrus and stone fruit steal the show with the subtlest of oak spice adding complexity. Think Chablis-like flintiness but with a tantalising hint of New World exoticism. We are deep within crystalline-loveliness territory with Tom's Red Claw Chardonnay. Think crispness and purity. unalloyed, palate-enlivening, gastronomic joy. It is, indubitably, a winner. Now might be the time to get on the phone to your friendly local fishmonger and ask him very nicely what he has in the crustacean department (lobster, to go with melted butter, boiled potatoes and spinach, being a distinct preference)...
