Yarra, Mornington, Geelong wine tour day two (Yarra Valley): Slight mango, melon, lemon, smidge of sulphur, leesy cheesy notes, struck match/bacon fat, toasted hazelnuts. Juicy medium plus intensity acidity, again melon, lemon and a touch of mango, super tangy whisper of texture. Long. Nice.

Very tightly wound bordering on being reclusive. It is no doubt a chardonnay of power and concentration but quite unbalanced at this stage so unlikely to evolve to be a complete wine. I suspect they may have picked this a bit too early went for power and forgot about the fruits. Happy to be wrong in the long run.
Drink from 2032+.

Pronounced nose of yellow apple, struck match Good freshness, lemon curd, herbs, some oak but still very fresh Great length and intensity Will improve over time
