  Final bottle, still going strong. An exotic experience. There are plenty of new world producers still making Chardonnay in this fuller style - this would outperform most if not all of them.

  At home. Very similar impression to recent notes, perhaps somewhat more fresh. As always a delicious expression of Chardonnay.

  At South West Rocks, NSW. A lovely picnic wine this opened with a deep green gold colour and a nose of white and yellow peaches, poached pears, lemon zest, vanilla and honey. The palate has developed a lovely complexity with the complex fruit characters still at the forefront but balanced by touches of caramel, honey and vanilla pod. The texture and mineral grip remain defining features here giving the wine real distinction.

  PYCM vs Lamy vs Ramonent (Kolabo): Blinded. Probably one of the best art series I have had. Someone actually believe this was a resiling due to the petrol notes, on the palate it was distinctly chardonnay, lemon, lime, high acid, touch of honey. Impressive white.

  Screwcap, 14.5% alc. Bright yellow gold.
  
  Powerful and complex nose of peach, banana, hazelnut, pear, spicy oak, matchstick, and a mandarin top note.
  
  The powerful palate is at once creamy and firm, with strong grapefruit-like acidity, and a long cereal-flavoured finish.
  
  Opinion: Impressive, powerful Chardonnay. Classic Art Series. In a good place now, yet no rush; the wine held up well on Day 4.
