Grapefruit, white peach, cashew and nougat. Juicy acidity and still integrating (including new) oak tannins the redeeming features. Struck match if you go looking for it. A slightly less elegant proposition than the 2012. 13% ABV. 90+. Definitely a food wine.

Very much stone fruit based with some spicy, cedary oak. Just lacks a bit of length, complexity and energy (it seems a bit tired for such a young wine) for a higher score. Certainly a way behind some other chardonnays coming out of this region.

Hunter Valley - 6 Cellar Doors (Hunter Valley): {screwcap, 11%, A$55} An acidic, spice-and-grapefruit chardonnay, with lively acidity (30% malo only), medium/high acid, medium/full-body and a medium+ length. Polished, plenty of mid-palate weight; should age nicely for a decade.

Peter Bourne GWT Tasitng Chardonnay (8 Danks street, Sydney): Muted aromas of wet clay, spice, tinned peaches…more peaches on the palate but a little bit flabby. Slight spice. Not very nice though.

New Zealand / Australia Trip Dec 2014 / Jan 2015; 12/14/2014-1/8/2015 (Auckland, Martinborough, Christchurch, Sydney, Hunter Valley): 16 year old vines. Struck match nose, very light in colour, decent. Weight in the mouth, very little caramel, decent finish for mid age vines, not bad at all.
