A pretty wine with a prettier history and albeit performs was ever so short on the finish. Like vanishes the second it goes away and in general lacked a persistence. Good overall 91.

Wonderful wine. Pure fruit that is transparent. There’s a nice feel to the wine - has shoulders without additives/manipulation. Limited complexity yet so dang delicious. Could be a textbook for what Chardonnay fruit tastes like without makeup. Worth the hype. (92)

Very subtle MLF (I am not a fan of buttery chardonnays - I like butter on toast not in my glass), nice stone fruit flavours. Nose is what to me a chardonnay should taste like. Friends at lunch were very impressed - first no Australian Chardonnay for 2 of them. Hope 2020 is as good as I have it on order.

Pale yellow, with lemon on the nose. Medium to full bodied, real zesty citrus fruits on the mid palate, slightly saline, lively acidity, energetic and with serious length on the finish. Very well balanced and only 12% ABV and corked with Diam3. Drunk from Conterno Sensory. Impressive wine made in partnership with J M Roulot. 93+

Friendsgiving Dinner (Schur House - Riverwoods IL): Walkaround tasting. Bright apple and pear throughout with good+ weight, excellent energy and balance. Good now and this should hold well for years.
