A very fine chardonnay, powerful, rich but all in balance - what an excellent chardonnay should be.
A very layered and complex wine, it has power, grace and sophistication at the same time. White peach, stone fruit, white melon and beautiful soft tannin were all present. It is not a reductive wine and it makes no apologies for it. Very refined and long finish with notes of butter and brioche.
Drink now to 4+ years.

Slight hint of being corked unfortunately - probably one of our last Aussie Chardonnays sealed with cork fortunately. Older ones under stelvin are holding up well. Drinkable, with some great spicy Thai - but probably would have gone down the sink if at home … If in your cellar still - open them up. !

Yellow/Gold in colour. Peach notes on the nose.
Peach and some melon on the palate. Quite full and rich.
This is my 1st bottle of this wine, and it drank beautifully.
Mature chardonnay - very enjoyable.
It's built to last and still has plenty ahead of it.
