Decent buy if not epic bargain. I see that we have consistent tastes us two, for Dulcie repeated her scornful summary of this wine's shortcomings while I was a tad more generous. Full-fruit in the buttery, oaky tradition.

Day three, I am enjoying this; the nose is particularly beguiling, oak and lanolin, patina of age on the palate with characteristic malolactic chardonnay and some enduring citrus acidity. Dulcie rather scornful, but she is prone to overly hasty judgment.

Here, I thought Shirazgirl and Aylwin were destined by fate to cross swords in wine as in chemistry. As it happens, my bottle is 2002 and hers is 2004. Straw yellow colour, abundant oak on the nose, on the palate, oak and creamy minerality, rounding of age showing in a patina of complex aromatic notes. Certainly a good buy at 50 % off.
