Blind Chardonnay Tasting (Sydney, Australia): Smoky coconut oak, leesy and with signs of oxidative handling. Palate was bold and seemed to lack focus. Very disappointing when revealed.

Very similar in colour to the standard 2001. Much more oak on the nose, quite dominant and almost candy like. Classy nevertheless. Palate feel is all about structure, not obvious sweet fruit. More oak and nice burnt matchstick notes. Again very classy a wee bit tight right now. Needs another year but travelling ok.

Tight nose of oats and spice. Palate is elegant with good length, but it really lacks depth.
