March 28, 2018 - Aging beautifully. A nose of sweet yellow peach, crushed a wick of smoke/matchstick goodness. Spicy almond oak, bangs with vanilla and talc. Sung with the Japanese

February 19, 2018 - yellow nectarine and shards lemon with a crush of peel, gentle tinned corn and tropical fruit. Lines of flinty mineral structure that carries long and strong. Great balance. Acid?. Optimal drinking

April 6, 2015 - Drinking beautifully. Has a nice lemony gold colour, citrus, stone fruits and some nuttiness on the palate, and good length. No hurry to consume either, as I can see it falling over for several years.

June 21, 2010 - Golden yellow, distinctly Chardonnay. Grapefruit, stone-fruit, peaches, lemon, nice smooth mouthfeel, good value.

May 28, 2010 - Volumptious buttery nose. Lemon meringue on the palate with a well balanced line of acidity running through to the finish. Perhaps a bit one dimensional though. I'm glad I tried it, but I doubt I will be buying more. There are other Chardonnays in this price range I prefer more (e.g. Stonier).
