Holding up very well and drinking beautifully. Lovely restrained oak and butter elements with strong fruit. This wine is so well structured with plenty of life in this vintage. Pleasure to drink with Rotisserie Chicken.

Wow - not sure why I gave this an 89 last time out as this wine is utterly delicious. It's got so much going on, bags of rich fruit, restrained oak and a long long finish. With some age, this wine is singing. Must find more of a later vintage..

When initially opened the oak was overwhelming, and I was wondering what the fuss was about. After 45 minutes though, the wine was in balance with peach, melon, cashew and cream, underpinned with integrated oak and an almost hidden acidity. Quite a powerful wine with a richer mouthfeel than many chardonnays. The overall balance is excellent.

Good Chardonnay. Plenty of oak but not overpowering. Good fruit and decent length. Think this will improve with a little bottle ageing.

The wine looks yellow gold colored. The legs are slow. The body is medium/full. The wine has polished texture. The wine finishes long.
