June 15, 2020 - Buttercup colour; oak still shows, with air merges into background, blossoms in glass ; soft & silky which is supported by crisp acidity, expressive, strict; very long & taut finish. Will age further.

June 24, 2019 - Vinosphere (Town Hall, Sydney): Waxy, a little leesy (?), sharp acid dominates the palate. Too much for me. Time?

April 23, 2019 - Pale; chalky, neat; strict, good texture, grapefruit, smoky undertow dissipates; severe finish, though not unbalanced. Long. No need to hurry.

December 12, 2016 - A mellowed bouquet, a balanced midtaste, but at the end the acidity is a bit harsh.
