Laundry powder, chalk, white florals and pear. Tangy sweet and sour acid profile, medium length. Nice upfront fruit power but just medium length. Should improve with time.
Pear, lemon, peach and straw on the nose. Punchy palate, good acidity which matches nicely with the slightly richer profile of the HVD. Better length than the Stevens even though it's a touch softer through the middle. Might swap places with the Steves with age but it is showing better now

SMoke and pencil shavings. Shrill acidity is prominent on the palate and it ends up crushing the fruit and clipping the finish. Will probably settle with time, but it was rough going tonight.

Lemon, lime and vanilla. Softed edged initially but the acid kicks in through the middle. Moderate depth and length. It's simple for now but it's quite a nice drink anyway.
Smoky, lemon,slate and white florals. Palate has an extra level of depth and texture, acid is clean and bright working well with the richer style fruit. Clear standout of the 22 Sems.
Peach and pear, toasty. Shows more Chardonnay like on the palate, controlled fruit with some toast but also good Semillon freshness and cut. Not normally a fan of this but enjoyed this version.
Mandarin and orange, yellow florals and some oak on the nose. Rich fruit profile, powerful through the mid palate and finish. Older school style but I liked it!
Pear, straw, white florals and lemon. Palate has more restraint versus the other two Chards today and it is better for it, with more fruit clarity and brightness. Very nice length and promise for the future.

Nose a bit shut down, some oak and herbs. Palate is richer and riper, with lots of fruit flavour. Medium length bit a little disjointed today.
