No formal notes.
Lovely balanced chardonnay. A bit of a herbal green streak in the aftertaste but excellent length and acidic drive. Drink now. In the zone.

61% Malbec, 39% Petit Verdot ... 13% alc
Interesting wine. Deep reddish/purple hues. Aromas showing fresh berry fruit, lavender, forest floor, baking spices. Still young. Fresh feeling, medium weight. Blueberries, raspberries, blackberries .... a slight tanginess overall. Getting baking spices, licorice, along with tobacco and an herbal streak. Long finish. Nice wine. Different.

Pop and pour, overpowering capsicum and medium+ tannins. Almost afraid it had a slight fault.

Had 1 glass, left it in the fridge with the cap screwed on.

Next evening: Capsicum is still there, but has mellowed significantly, to a pleasant level. Red berries and some blue initially, with some Tobacco, pencil shavings, hints of cedar. Some tertiary notes are showing through, but the fruit is still dominant here. Amazing, lingering, fresh finish that just keeps going. Makes you want to take another sip.

Very satisfying experience.

I have one bottle left, will wait +5 years.

Deep colour, dark plum red, clear 3
Alluring nose. Sweet fruit, floral. Complex. Blackcurrant jam and spice. Toffee. 6.5
Full bodied. Dry. Moderate acidity. Restrained fruit. Slightly astringent. Furry tannin at the tip of the tongue. Good structure. Warm finish. Spicy. It would probably be better with a few more years age to allow the tannin to soften. Try again in 2 years? Will the fruit characters fade or develop? 7.7

Served with salmon mousse.

Colour is gold showing maturity.
Nose is mature but remains pleasant with oak prominent and stonefruit background and pears.
Full and rich, good fruit on the palate, pineapples, oranges. Huge complexity. Long.
Excellent overall.

3/29/2024 - richard.presser Likes this wine: 90 points

A Sem/sauv Blanc blend that speaks of the Bx version with an Aussie balance. Very fine. Aspects are forward, making it drinkable now but IMO, it will begin to sing at about 10 years. The biodynamic vitality is evident.

This is good. Excellent structure, the Merlot fleshes out the Cabernet giving it a luscious body. Good wood, subtle acid, smooth tannins, very approachable for such a young wine. Gives confidence that it will develop further in the cellar. 92+

Tasted at winery in Margaret River. Appearance: Clear, medium-deep ruby. Nose: Clean, medium+ intensity with developing aromas of plum, boysenberry, tobacco, oregano, and violets. Palate: Dry, medium acid, medium+ tannin is soft and lush, medium+ body feels silky, medium+ intensity, 13.5% abv with developing flavors of boysenberry, tobacco, and bell pepper with a medium+ finish.

My second favorite of a line-up that included the 17 (my favorite), 19, 21, and 22 Diana Madeline's. This felt almost light but had great structure and sneaky depth. Still 3-5 years from approaching peak and will drink well for a decade plus beyond.

Tasted at winery in Margaret River. Appearance: Clear, medium-deep ruby. Nose: Clean, medium intensity with developing aromas of black cherry, cassis, cocoa, and florals - rose & violet. Palate: Dry, medium+ acid, medium+ tannin is youthful and grippy, medium+ body, medium intensity, 13.5% abv with developing flavors of slightly under-ripe dark fruit - cassis & black cherry, pencil lead, and bell pepper with a medium+ finish.

Quite youthful and tight today, but the potential is there for this to blossom with time - 5+ years. 92+

Tasted at Lamont's Cottesloe wine shop at tasting hosted by John Jens. Appearance: Clear, medium ruby with just the slightest edge clouding and browning. Nose: Clean, medium+ intensity with aromas of violet, graphite, blackberry, spice cake, and bell pepper. Palate: Dry, medium acid, medium+ tannin was tight grained and softened, medium+ body, medium+ intensity with developing flavors of blackberry, graphite, and herbs with a long, but subtle, finish.

Showing great balance and focus a lovely wine from a cool vintage, my favorite of a line-up of Diana Medeline's from 2017 - 2022. Drinking well today, likely better in 2-3 year and a decade beyond.

Tasted at the winery in Margaret River. Appearance: Clear, pale lemon. Nose: Clean, medium+ intensity with developing aromas of lemon curd, white peach, vanilla, toast, and acacia. Palate: Dry, medium acid, medium+ intensity, medium body with a slightly creamy mouth-feel, 13.5% abv with developing flavors of lemon curd, saline, and licorice with a medium+ finish. Overall, this sits between the Kevin John and Flower Day Kevin John in terms of weight and intensity. Drinking well today but will benefit from another 2-4 years of age.

Tasted at winery in Margaret River. Appearance: Clear, medium lemon. Nose: Clean, medium+ intensity with aromas of bees wax, lime, Asian pear, chalk, and honeysuckle. Palate: Dry, medium+ acid, medium+ intensity, medium body, 13.5% abv with developing flavors of Asian pear, Key lime, and saline with a medium plus finish. Leaner and more taut than the Kevin John Chardonnay, it felt like it needs a few more years in bottle to soften and integrate but should drink great for a decade plus thereafter.

Palate: Dry, medium acid, medium+ body with lush mouth-feel, medium+ intensity, 13.5% abv with flavors of creme brulee, pear, and ginger with a long finish.

Improving every year. Now 7 years old it continues to get better. The sweet honeysuckle and ripe apricot flavours are coming to the fore. An enjoyable wine that is in my top 5 Australian Chardonnays
