  September 3, 2023 - This bottle is possibly one of the best Mount Mary Chardonnay that I have had in long time. Quite "special"! Possibly from a low base of expectation.
  
  Still a youth bright yellow / green, match struck, white flowers and nectarine dominated the aroma. Body is beautifully taunt, intense with apple, a hint of citrus and certainly some hazelnut and cashew. Well balanced and very intense acidity that provides a beautiful backbone. Lovely lime and mineral finish.
  
  Drink now to 4+ years.

  November 15, 2019 - 2011 was a very wet year in Victoria, and as a result the wine is very lean compared to other Mount Mary vintages. Still a great chard, but don't expect anything too buttery from this vintage. Drink up I reckon - and serve in a big glass to get as much from the wine as possible.

  July 20, 2019 - Generous and expressive with ripe orchard fruits, some cashew and a suggestion of fig. It is voluminous and intense, loaded with fruit and finishing with an uptick of fresh acidity.

  November 11, 2017 - Again very fresh and youthful, yet good length. Lemon, peach, melon on the palate. The oak is nicely refined and tightly integrated to the fruit. Delicious and with a few years ahead of it.
