{screwcap, 11.5%} Pale straw. Hard to make much of this, to be honest. Still absurdly young it's mostly just a grassy impression, not even especially acidic. Light-bodied, maybe with a bit of rockmelon or faint hint of lime juice. The palate is quite even, but also faint, and the finish dies away leaving fleeting hints of texture without much flavour. It's so neutral you wonder if it'll ever evolve; will take twenty years at least. It was widely acclaimed as a very good vintage for reds; not sure that the top years for reds & whites ever coincide much. Still no real point in drinking it now!

I enjoyed this very much. Youthful but fine, some lovely vanilla flavour buried under the lime.
Will live a very long life.
11.5%, screwcap.

Grape, Grain and Graze Festival (Olympic Park, Homebush, Sydney): Green apple, lemon grass, slight wet hay. Medium plus intensity acidity, bitter and tough. Time should help but meh today

During a walkabout tasting, so only brief impressions. Complex, leesy aromas in the nose, dry all stainless steel, good freshness and enough body.
