Much better wine than the previous bottle. Good balance and length. Given how much each bottle is varying in quality, I assume this wine is nearing the end of its life.

This is an ok wine, but it lacks a definitive edge. I drank this in one day (ok with friends - not on my own). The previous bottle was better on day 2, but you don't want a (white) wine to need multiple days. I think this is a year or 2 past its best. It is just flat.

On day 1 this was a bit out of balance. I found the fruit a touch sweet, and the finish a little weak. I would have scored it around 89 / 90. On day 2 though it was so much better, The fruit and oak were nicely integrated, with a much longer finish. On day 2's showing this wine still has some life, on day 1, I'd say drink up.

Nice wine. Lime, citrus and butterscotch on the palate. There is good length, and a balance between oak and acidity. Definitely room for the wine to develop.

Gold in colour, the nose is rich and full, sweet fruit, a little grass and some caramel. These are all present in the taste, along with very well balanced acid and a full silky mouth feel. A long perfumed finish completes the package.

Quite a rich, worked nose – lots of spicy oak, with tropical fruits and butterscotch. The palate is an improvement though – yes, the same flavours are present, but there is nice acidity and everything is in balance. A MR chardonnay for rich food. Should gain in complexity over the next 2-5 years I reckon. I may not be the biggest fan of this style of wine, but I sure can appreciate the effort!
