Pretty decent stuff this. Not falling apart at all. Deep gold, still lots of citrus, my hazlenut oil thing, and some tropical fruits in the background. Good acidity too now. Not huge complexity developing but a very acceptable chard.

Decent SA chardonnay. Oak still a bit obvious but plenty clean citrus/lemon and vanilla notes. Good acidity. Medium length. Decent weight and length. Not a show stopper but good.

Aroma a bit weird, manure or something! But after breathing in the glass it softened and turned a bit apricotty, not bad. Big flavours of peachy fruits, slightly buttery but plenty of acidity. Completely fresh finish and quite long. Maybe too much acidity, but better than being flabby. Very good price/quality - as good as many a bourgogne.

Bright lemon yellow. Rich and complex nose with lemon, quince, buttered toast and soft marzipan. Generous on the palate; sweet ripe melon and banana with soft creamy butterscotch on the finish.

Really solid chardonnay. No way dead. Plenty of cured lemon, hazlenut and more. Fine acidity. Medium length. Holds up well, serious wine.

Quite deep gold this time. Nice citrus, mostly lemon. Good body, slightly flabby. Hazelnut oil. Medium length.

Decanter Fine Wine Encounter (Landmark Hotel, London): Caramalised pineapple and butter. Palate is a little flabby.
