Like most KBs and depending on your style, you should give them some time in the bottle but don’t hesitate to try as they mature. I appreciate the golden color and the nose of hazelnut with some spiced pineapple. They got the balance right with a long finish.

Fully mature stone and tropical fruit with butterscotch and gingerbread. Very good concentration. Clearly ripe with sweet character, but able to maintain a real sense of balance, even if not restraint. Nose slightly more advanced than palate, with floral flourishes.

Similar notes to the previous poster. Over the top notes of banana chips and a syrupy cloying texture. Might have been good as a small dessert glass wine, but not as a main course companion.

Quick notes. Over the top flavors of tropical fruit; but with age it has developed a syrupy profile and strong brown sugar notes. Ends with dark citrus and a spicy finish. Disappointing.

Bright gold in color. 14.6% ABV. Pretty nose of lemon, apple and butterscotch. Medium body with bright acidity. Pure and precise. Creme brulee, pear, ginger and honeysuckle on the palate. Gorgeous Chardonnay and a really impressive first effort from the Kosta Browne team. Aging beautifully. Drink over the next year or so.
