(Penfolds@TheBlocks) Clean, light, clear on the nose, with characteristic light dairy but balanced taste of citrus, faint red apples, and goodly amounts of flint. Short finish, exposing very fine vanilla.

Really lovely balance here. Effortlessly elegant. Fruit, oak, mineral acidity; it's all there, no irritating noise. The orchestra plays this piece in perfect tune. Great value. A fine introduction to quality chard from Oz. Drink now or keep a couple of years for further development. I had the '06 last year and it was on song.

Just slightly fruity on the nose with dairy action and nutty oak toast dominating. Dry and pretty acidic palate. Refreshing but showing some richer fruit as well. Citrus and malo before toasted smoky oak strenghtening towards the finish. Decent balance and, though the wine is quite oaky, somewhat quaffable.
