At the Penfolds dinner. I was going to be lazy but guess I should not after the first sniff. Light lime color with nutty nose, apples and citrus. Nice Fini through the night the taste, with similar characters and minerals. Nice start to the night!

Tasted blind. Heavy reduction, sulphur, typical screwcap. Backward and completely dominated by toasted oak. Some fruit, very light, some flowery aspects. Medium bodied, tight, unresolved. Short finish. Very disappointed when the wine was revealed. Even at this early stage it just doesn't seem to possess the qualities necessary for longevity, let alone to leave some kind of impression now. Very poor value.

Chardonnay tasting: This had the strongest nose of boiled beef tongue. Steely style on the palate, but nose seemed somewhat oaky. Medium+ acidity.

A clean and very well made wine but considering the price tag I'd expected more. Maybe I opened it a bit too early.
