  November 15, 2023 - Tight nose initially but opened with some air. Refined nose with well defined pear and peach. Expertly judged cream, biscuit and wet stone. Medium to full bodied will an incredible texture and lovely freshness. Fantastic wine but would hold for a few years.
  
  WSET Notes:
  
  Pale lemon.
  
  Medium intensity on the nose with pear, peach, biscuit, cream, lemon, toast, wet stone, and vanilla. Youthful.
  
  Pronounced and dry on the palate. Medium plus body, high alcohol, high acidity, long finish.
  
  Too young.

  October 3, 2023 - Seriously good. Very youthful and tight, but serious potential. I would wait a few more years before opening another.
  
  Medium lemon colour.
  
  Pronounced aromas of fresh bread, apple tart, lime juice, white peach, yellow apple, tangerine peel, jasmine, struck flint, crushed gravel.
  
  Pronounced palate.
  
  Full body, high acidity, long finish.

  September 17, 2023 - After a recent 2009 I was on the hunt for a current release. These 19's are so primary right now I can image significant bottle age is needed if the desired outcome is like that of the 2009. I'm sure there is vintage variation but missing is the minerality & subdued fruit that blew me away.
  
  Hold

  August 25, 2023 - Poured too cold to start with - a gentle lemon hue with a bouquet of cedar and oak whispers, elegantly underpinned by subtle strokes of spice and the sweet allure of peach and some citrus notes. On the palate, a velvety creaminess punctuated by an effervescent acidity and zestful lime and citrus interplay. Lingering, delicate finale. I know this is still very young, but really quite enjoyable as I often find with early drinking of Art Series chardonnay. Looking forward to sampling over the coming years.
