Dave's b'day lunch (McLeay Street Bistro, Potts Point): Quite closed and reticent initially...with agitation a little butter and non-delineated stone fruit. More texture and riper than the 2008...opens with time to show peach on both the nose and palate, the oak is present here as well. It feels a little more worked. Hmm.

Light golden colour. Mealy, some white peach, necatarine and toast. Palate is full flavoured still but has just enough drive to push through to the finish. Feels like a rather ripe profile for Curly flat?

From glass. Clear yellow. Cool, ever so slightly sweet breeze of smoke, lemons and flowers, and almost a lychee-like note - all together beautiful and full. Likewise on the palate: cool smoke with flowers, lemons and grapefruit, herbs, and a concentrated ball of these flavors and acidity that coalesces in midpalate and carries through on long finish. Persistence. Towards the end of the glass more marine and lemony, but wow, whatta chard.

Just brilliant Chardonnay. Peach, nectarine, honey, butterscotch, hint of melon, cashew, long flavours, fresh acidity. Round, full bodied, complex, but maintaining lightness and vigour. Delicious.

An excellent Chardy to accompany prawns and oysters. Ex-Magnum, could easily age well for another 8 years.
