- Yellow gold color and aromas of oak. It's lacking fruit and has flavours of almond and oak with a medium/full body. Narrow texture with a short finish - Lovely deep golden, pleasant nose, evident oak treatment, rich nutty palate elements, oak integrated nicely fruit is dropping out and finish is quite short overall a nice wine.

What a difference a year makes. Had the 06 of this recently and it was beautiful. The 05 I'm afraid is quite a different story. Gold hue but the nose screams oak and butter and the palate follows it up. This is the style of new world Chardonnay that I don't enjoy as it is too oaky and in your face despite its 7 years in the cellar. Hard to believe the 06 was from the same producer.

Marginally better than first bottle, though not by much I'm sad to say.

Dull, lacks inspiration, length and depth. Prominent oak, not much fruit, a little minerality. Disappointing - I am hoping it was a bad bottle.

Very different to a Margaret river white. A more intense woody flavor with a long after note. Enjoyed, need to get more.
