Very nice ageing well. Cellared since 2017. Long notes. Up there with By Farr from headed prior

Ongoing pleasant to drink. Cellared for 2 years in a non climate controlled Australian cellar and going well. Some tanins. Quite smooth. Above an LBV.

Cork. Not screw cap. Light bodied. Quite acidic. Tannins still there. It sure how much longer I’d keep this.

Just keeps getting better. Probably the best Chardonnay I have had in a long time.

Aged well. Last bottle of this batch was bodiless and last it’s best.

An unusual mix. For the price, possibly expected more.

Lightly corked. Would have been ok if not.

Still ok - ongoing tannins. Not dissimilar to 389 it’s long notes. Agree with comment in cork - looked like an artificial stopper at first. Gentle push in prior to withdrawing it did the trick- out in one go.

Little change to my last note. Still full of tannins. In cellar for 6 years. Recanted little sediment. Has long grangey flavours. ish. . Body reducing.

Ageing well ina reasonable cellar, kept for last 5 years. Not sure how much it will improve with longer keep. Needs decanting - reasonable sediment.

Still full of tannins. Leave a few years.

Minimal tannins. Ok now but will also last. Baby Grange with less body

Surviving quite well. Color darkening, flavour acidic but nil sign of turning.

1/2/2021 - wee30 wrote:

Ready to go now. Lacking in body but good value. I’ll open one a year for the next 5 so let’s see. Nil tannins so may as well get into it now really.

Ongoing improvement. Fewer tannins. Needed 2 hours post decanting to sort itself out

Still going strong but not as good as the 2011

Cellared reasonably well since purchase. Quite sweet, ongoing tannins so could age further.

Needs to be drunk soon. Sharp at first but mellower at the end. Sorted in a reasonably consistant cellar.

Big and round. Ongoing tannins. Will be better in 3-5 years. Cellared and undisturbed since purchase.

Very average. Not sure where it will go with age either. Poor vfm.

Remarkably well preserved - tastes just like I remember from 25 years ago.

Holding up well after 5 years in my 16-24 cellar. Becoming more full bodied and almost sweet at it ages. No signs of skunk in my bottles...

12/26/2018 - wee30 Likes this wine:

Will get better over next 3-5 years or longer. Currently kept in cellar at 16-24 degrees

12/24/2018 - wee30 Likes this wine:

Drink this year or next. Improves with decanting and breathing for 2 hours. Losing the battle between oxidation and residual tannin due to marginal quality / body.

4/25/2018 - wee30 Likes this wine:

Mellowing well over the years in my slightly warm cellar. Small amount fine sediment. Tannins almost all resolved.

Quite high in late tannins. Will keep.

Leave for an hour or so post opening or the tannins are too heavy. Quite metallic at first but not all bad. No clear signs oxidation so far so perhaps will keep a couple of years yet.

Now a dark peach colour. Fuller body, good sweetness. Effervescence diminished but still there. Somewhat improved with age.

12/25/2016 - wee30 Likes this wine:

Full, creamy. Excellent and feels like it could last for another year or so.

Lots of tannins. Plenty of dark fruit. Needs time to age.
