April 1, 2024 - 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.1 person found this helpful Comment -

February 14, 2023 - An old favourite. Lots of well developed flavours. Pineapple and lemon fruit combo. Plenty of oak and fruity flavours.

December 7, 2021 - Always brilliant. AT peak drinking now. Will develop for many years but will be a richer dark old style Chardonnay as it ages for another 20 years. Drink now if you prefer the fresher style.

December 6, 2020 - First meal in Sydney for 9 months for me as I am from Melbourne where we have just come out from lockdown. To celebrate the occasion, we had this bottle at Mode, the bistro at the 4 Seasons hotel in Sydney. A wonderful drop - a beautiful nectarine and peach nose followed by a well integrated body. Acid was there but not over the top and the oak was holding the show but not shouting front he rooftop. Beautiful mouth feel - well weighted with a well rounded finished. Drank too early though. Another 5+ years before it gets into its peak.

September 20, 2020 - Can’t rate this as high as the Giaconda but it is good. Rich caramel flavours. Plenty of fresh peach. Had with some freshly caught southern calamari squid. Great match
