Stunning wine. Drank in very good company with other MR chardonnays from 2013 and 14, including a beautiful Pierro 13 (see my review of that) and this was the best of the night. Gorgeous golden colour, nutty nose with a touch of sweetness, such a full richness on the palate. JH called it "elegant" and he's bang on the money. As complete as I can ever remember a chardonnay tasting.

Prince Saturday tasting (Prince Sydney, 40 Hansard Street): on the nose there is are aromas of butter, toast, cream over muted citrus and stone fruit with spiced notes. In the mouth the wine is tangy but what little fruit there was on the nose doesn't translate to the palate. A bit of a tannic burr on the front of mouth and mid palate

Lovely chardonnay - powerful fruit but matched with a balanced brightness.
