2013 Hardys Chardonnay Eileen Hardy

First time I've had this that's been disappointing. Tonight it feels like the fruit has faded away quite significantly relative to previous bottles.
Pleasant broad/fatness to the texture to the mouthfeel but it's missing flavour other than a rather reserved lemon character and some oak spice.
Not objectively bad, just sad given how much I've enjoyed this previously.

Australia Trade Tasting (Lindley Hall, Royal Horticultural Halls): Tight, rubbery, citrus, austere but with a nice round sweet fruit in the back, palate is fresh, youthful, acidity, tight texture, long finish

Nose: Vanilla, butter and small amount of flint.

Palate: Vanilla, butter, citrus, almonds, melon and nice minerality. Medium plus acidity and long finish.

A big and oaky Chardonnay, but it has enough acidity and citrus to add complexity and enjoyment to it. A bitt of a guilty pleasure wine for me. We finished it rather quickly. Drinking great now.

This is quite delicious! I bought this at auction, and there's no bottling information on the bottle so hard to guess how old it is, but it definitely seems to have quite some age in it given the taste, color and shape of the bottle.

Austere on opening showing lemon, ginger and cedary wood and seeming quite mineral. Changed a lot given time to open, became very ripe with the nose developing caramelised pineapple, butter, vanilla and sandalwood.
Quite an oily texture, full MLF for sure. Glorious old-school big Aussie Chardy, in balance though: there's acid keeping the wine from seeming flabby.

Stunning dandelion, bright colour; classically buttery, charred & highly attuned oak; smart palate, powerful yet well proportioned; forthright finish. Rather splendid.

Secondary characters dominate as a big nose of sweet vanilla and butter lead the way. More of the same on the palate along with ripe lemon and some cinnamon spice. It's a rich and full-bodied Chardonnay but there's excellent acidity keeping it fresh rather than flabby. Should have a few years yet.

Enjoyed this wine over a 5 day period. The first night it was nice but had a bit of a tang, but it really got going on the 2nd night - smooth with lovely colour and depth

Really changed from the last bottle 6 months ago. Maybe the two hours decant helped on this one but it significantly better.
Longer, evolved, feeling like there’s density and substance. I really liked the spice punch of the shiraz with this wine. Fresh, fruity, really enjoyable.

Tri-region blend, with some age, has resulted in an enjoyable cab, with cedar and thyme bouquet, pure cassis, herbs and fine tannins, and a long berry and spice finish.

Nose and palate are geared towards easy and delicious drinking. Not much of varietal characteristic. It is made for first time wine drinkers who prefer their wine to be super smooth, slightly sweet and fruity with a touch of floral and vanilla note. One dimensional finish. For what it is designed for and the price you are paying, it is not a bad product, just not for people who wants to taste the difference.

Amazing aged Australian shiraz. Tannins resolved but still present in the long finish. Nice bouquet at start and very silky from the get go. Went nicely with steak and at 27 years could not ask for more.

Wonderful. A true Burgundian upper class white. Lost a bit of its crunchiness, but gained weight and a bit of complexity. One of my top chard’s

I think the wine is not fully evolved yet. The texture is extra smooth, easy to drink. But I dkn’t know of it’s dryness of the tannins, but something harsh.
The fruit is there but no complexity yet, lacking refinements.
