Community Tasting Note

  January 22, 2011 - Glad to be trying this wine again within a six month period. No doubt 2007 as a vintage in Margaret River will be the stuff of stories to my unborn grandchildren. I am getting home runs from a large majority of established labels from this year. The wine is providing all the butterscotch, caramel, pear, vanilla bean and grandma`s marzipan that made me fall in love the first time, but with an extra six months, the flavor profile is broadening - as it should but faster than I had expected it to. The wine is in it`s window now - no problem for me at all but surprised by this so soon. How long to go - another 3-5 will do the trick I think.
  
  The devil on my shoulder whispers to me that maybe the wine needs a fraction more prevailing acid, but maybe I am being too fastideous about it.
  
  Always amazed to note that the cost of this wine is precisely half of the cost of Leeuwin Art Series Chardonnay in Singapore and deserves a seat at the same table without doubt. For this reason I am giving it a higher than expected rating at this point in its life and mine.
