Community Tasting Notes (average 89.8 pts. and median of 90 pts. in 7 notes) - hiding notes with no text

 Tasted by For The Love of Loosen on 3/22/2022 & rated 90 points: Grapefruit, white peach, cashew and nougat. Juicy acidity and still integrating (including new) oak tannins the redeeming features. Struck match if you go looking for it. A slightly less elegant proposition than the 2012. 13% ABV. 90+. Definitely a food wine. (153 views)
 Tasted by azzah on 12/2/2015 & rated 88 points: Very much stone fruit based with some spicy, cedary oak. Just lacks a bit of length, complexity and energy (it seems a bit tired for such a young wine) for a higher score. Certainly a way behind some other chardonnays coming out of this region. (905 views)
 Tasted by chatters on 2/24/2015: Peter Bourne GWT Tasitng Chardonnay (8 Danks street, Sydney): Muted aromas of wet clay, spice, tinned peaches…more peaches on the palate but a little bit flabby. Slight spice. Not very nice though. (1400 views)
 Tasted by graemeg on 1/17/2015: Hunter Valley - 6 Cellar Doors (Hunter Valley): {screwcap, 11%, A$55} An acidic, spice-and-grapefruit chardonnay, with lively acidity (30% malo only), medium/high acid, medium/full-body and a medium+ length. Polished, plenty of mid-palate weight; should age nicely for a decade. (1767 views)
 Tasted by kingkanu on 1/3/2015: New Zealand / Australia Trip Dec 2014 / Jan 2015; 12/14/2014-1/8/2015 (Auckland, Martinborough, Christchurch, Sydney, Hunter Valley): 16 year old vines. Struck match nose, very light in colour, decent. Weight in the mouth, very little caramel, decent finish for mid age vines, not bad at all. (1490 views)
