  Golden colour, however bright balanced and natural acidity presence. (Notably better than recent 2006). Peach, honey, nectarine but well framed. Perhaps a little citrus and passion fruit finish. Lovely aged chardonnay still in good form.

  I was really impressed by this layered and complex example of pure and restrained Chardonnay. Pale chiffon color with a nice weight to the appearance. The nose offered ever changing notes of citrus, peach, sea air and a yeasty but pleasant overtone. Great salinity on the palate, which added in peaches, faint honey and -- amazingly -- an unmistakable touch of fennel that somehow adds heft to the finish. No discernible oak. Lovely minerality, and enough acidity to support revisiting in a few more years to see if the wine soars to even higher levels.

  I was not convinced about this wine. Maybe I did not understand it but nose was somewhat blurred with no clear definition with some citrus fruit - not very ripe in style, hints of minerality and some sweeter white fleshed fruit. Medium bodied lean and refreshing with a core of sugar coated fruit and good aftertaste. A less ripe style of Chardonnay with moderate oak influence but I am not sure about the result.

  Tight and not well defined nose that needs time to open up revealing a complex array of aromas suggesting possible wild ferment (citrus & stone fruit, flowers & herbs) with judicious use of oak. No MLF in this wine preserves crunchy acidity and gives tension and freshness. Middleweight with intensity and complexity. Will improve over the next couple of years and keep another 4-6.
