    February 21, 2019 - Melon, pear, lime, pine forest. Palate shows lemon, with stone fruits, and a mineral undertow with good acidity leading to a spicy finish with excellent length and drive. Lovely stuff.

    September 18, 2018 - Colour pale yellow with green hues clear and bright 15/15
    Nose med intensity quite subtle aromas, almost closed , that said there are a lot of different aroma there making up a multi layers Fruit melon citrus stone fruits tropical fruits, oatmeal , Spice grilled cashews , vanilla coconut leesy and that magical sea spray oyster shell you don’t get every day 28/30
    Palate med intensity with great balance and purity of flavours , got the stone fruits citrus nuts , creamy ( but no MLF) 12 months in oak 34% new the settled in SS for a further 3 or so months great long finish with cleansing acidity 41/44
    Overall interesting tassie Chardonnay but it’s a tough market with so many great chardys around these days at lower prices , maybe time needed 9/11

    June 14, 2018 - Young gun of wine peoples choice award 2018 (Prince Sydney, 40 Hansard Street): Ooh, buttery, toasty, peach lozenges…more fleshy than juicy on the palate with butterscotch the main contributing factor. Hmm.

    May 28, 2018 - Pale straw. Lemon, faint peach. Tastes zesty, with a fine, yet intense mid palate. There's complexities here - mineral, the green rind of lime. Nice persistence through to the long finish.
