Christmas 2023; 12/24/2023-12/26/2023 (Home): So vital and full of flavour, this wine was (as ever) an utter delight. Not much overt oak from the barrel maturation this long after the vintage, just a leesy textural aspect to complement the wonderfully vibrant gooseberry-dominant fruity aspects. As with all the Lismore wines, there's a sense of purity without the fruit seeming 'too much', and so much energy. Dynamic, stimulating finish, too - it's impossible to put this wine down.

Agree with previous comment, a lot of oak initially but it blows off after a while. The Sauvignon bl is still there behind the oak with nice freshness. Good but not great. Drink now.
