  Screwcap, 14% alc. Mid gold.
  
  Lactic, cashew, and fruit salad notes on the nose, with matchstick in the background.
  
  Deep-set melon-dominated fruit salad spreading across the palate. Well judged oak. Great balance, and solid length. Drink over the next 4 years.

  Very good chardonnay. Still very bright. Reminds me of the fruit salad chews that I used to devour as a kid. Sherbert notes as well which provide the lift. I was surprised as I had assumed this would have mellowed by now. Some life in this one.

  Isn’t it strange how the same vines, the same basic vintage conditions, and the same wine makers can produce substantially different wines?
  
  I’ve had the 2017 Moss Wood Chardonnay. It is terrific - tight and generous at the same time. The 2017 will cellar well. It is spot on.
  
  This 2013 is certainly generous, but lacks focus. It is mouth filling and toasty and very pleasant overall, but it needs a backbone of acid. It’s a bit middle aged Dad flabby (not that I currently associate with that metaphor), you can tell as much simply from the colour being golden. Not a cellar prospect, but a good cuddler right now.

  One of the best Aussie Chardonnays. Great acidity. Lot’s of Meyer lemon, tropical fruit. Elegant.
  Resembles quality white burgundy. Not cheap but delivers.

  No 9, pale lemon, vegetal, complex on the nose, a hint of animal and red ball cheese and old cheese and autumn ripe pear. Pronouced cheeses and bay leaves and a hint of sweetness and some mineral hint. High complexity. Medium+ acidity, medium body, medium alcohol. yeasty. Dry. Corton Charlemagne.
