Community Tasting History

Community Tasting Notes (average 89.8 pts. and median of 89 pts. in 11 notes) - hiding notes with no text

 Tasted by tomoem on 1/23/2024 & rated 89 points: A bright and intensely lemon focused juice. Large amounts of green and underdeveloped apple fruit and unripened kiwi fruit. The wine is built with acidity and the tannins are right there next. I imagine it is going to improve but right now this is HOT AND QUITE ACIDIC DRIVEN. (327 views)
 Tasted by Ulaa on 1/19/2024 & rated 91 points: With thai, spicy and awesome (236 views)
 Tasted by corkus on 9/25/2023 & rated 89 points: Colour: Silver with a gold tinge
Nose: Quite subdued. Lime, lemon, fennel/herbs, maybe apple with a tinge of peach.
Palette: Lime, peach, pear, fennel, an acid backbone with an unexpected (at this age) creamy finish.

It was popped and poured at the last minute to go with a salt and pepper squid dinner and is much more developed than I expected.
As usual though, it still has oodles of time left to develop. (333 views)
 Tasted by chatters on 9/23/2023: Grape, Grain and Graze Festival (Olympic Park, Homebush, Sydney): Waxy, lanolin, muted stone fruit. Slight more generous on the palate, tangy, textured, kind of yum. (631 views)
 Tasted by Neddy9 on 8/17/2023 & rated 92 points: Have just worked through a bottle over two days and this wine has just settled into a nice spot as a young, fresh wine. I am a great fan of the lineage but do find upon first release they can look a bit simple and plain.
This vintage however has just begun to release some lovely perfume, with citrus, pear and ripe melon notes, and just a touch of fennel, giving a lovely melange of aromas and flavours that follow along. Tight, fresh acidity is still youthful, making this a lovely aperitif style at the moment. I have no doubt it will age gracefully and blossom into something completely different, fuller coloured, richer flavoured and softer in texture, if you like aged marsanne. One of the consistently great value whites on the market, it can be enjoyed with just about any foods. Pointed up due to exceptional value for money. (401 views)
 Tasted by Avid Wino on 1/28/2023 & rated 89 points: Florals, peach, tropicals, lemon, smidge of cut green herbs. Strict mineral acidity, ample length but not drive… a tad dilute at this young stage, though time will likely transform this. (488 views)
 Tasted by kostaslonis on 1/24/2023: Austalia Trade Tasting (Lindley Hall, Royal Horticultural Halls): Tight, some fruit in palate, pear, green apple, difficult to cut through it as it is (462 views)
 Tasted by Moloko on 12/1/2022 & rated 91 points: Medium bodied finely structured white. Peach, honeysuckle, flowers with a chalky acidity. Not as powerful or floral as the outstanding 2015 vintage but may even cellar longer. The years will only improve this delicate wine. (540 views)
 Tasted by Screwcaps on 2/26/2022 & rated 92 points: Medium bodied.

Intense lemon on green apple and skin with grass.

Bracing acidity!!

Through the middle the savoury, and the start of oily, notes start.

High acidity through the finish.

It’s simple and backwards right now, but has length and intensity for days.

Drink now if you like sour apple warheads. Has all the bits needed to develop well.

Love the savoury and slightly bitter, green apple and celery aftertaste.m.

This is very good, and will earn more points with time.
