  (Mich's Bday Brunner) Sweet white flowers on the nose, with soft white citrus pith, faint pineapples, and whiff of chlorine greeness. Limes and clean acidity on palate, with soft florals, steel, and hint of oak. Nutty cashews, light pretty textures, with yet more limes on the finish. Shortish, flinty finish rounded with light lanolin. Certainly clean, precise and elegant!

  {screwcap, 13%} Evolving beautifully; the same cashew/fig/grapefruit aromas and flavours are here as in years past, this is now becoming more waxy, almost slithery on the palate. It's not acid-deficient, I hasten to add, it's just the effect of more bottle age. Only medium-bodied really, but there's terrific intensity of flavour now - love those cashews! Fills the mid-palate nicely, finishes medium length. No rush to drink, but no need to wait either.

  Medium gold. Nectarine, white peach, vanilla and biscuit aromas and flavours. Good burst of flavour on entry. Only medium bodied at most, with a slight waxiness. Wash of acid carrying through the reasonably long finish. Quality, but more modern and austere than I would like. Expect this should age well.

  {screwcap, 13%} Classy as ever; nuts, figs and oak, spotlit with a fine acid cut. Medium-bodied. Long, dry, minerally finish; if anything the fruit is understated. Had faded a little over 24 hours, but that's not really the way to judge a wine. Fine effort which should see out ten years beautifully.

  {screwcap, 13%} Nuts and figs and classy french oak. The palate is crisp and flinty, with a fine cut of acid, soft oaky tannins, sweet grapefruit flavours mixed with cashews and rocks, and a clean dry medium-full bodied finish. Front and mid-palates have plenty of presence; it's impeccably proportioned, and culmintes in a long stylish finish. Quintessentially modern top-shelf Australian chardonnay, which only lacks the exoticism of Giaconda or Pierro; but then, tasted blind, would I be able to justify such reservations? As pedigree goes, this is a triumph of the blender's art.
