December 16, 2018 - Light gold with good legs, the nose is heavy with spent match, toastiness, orange, leesiness and the palate is dry with plenty of acidity, leading into a finish hinting at butterscotch. Refreshing and satisfying Chardonnay with some weight and quality behind it. A couple of years left for this wine.

July 21, 2016 - Nice balance of heavy Oaked fruit and minerality. This isn't for the faint hearted but is a very good wine if you like a bold Chardonnay with a decent acidic finish

March 13, 2016 - Pretty good. flavoursome if not a little unrefined.
Crisp fruit with a (not too heavy) oak finish giving it a toasty and buttery sweetness.
Sits somewhere in between Burgundian and new world chard.
