Well they say that the last mouthful is the best and certainly my last bottle of this wine was a distinct throwback to some of my earlier bottles - well rounded good VFM

For some time this has been one of my favourite entry level SA Chardonnays and previous scores have been higher. However the wine now seems to be fading a little as it matures - still a lovely oaky edge to the fruit but the fruit itself has lost its tropical intensity and complexity - still pretty nice wine though

Impressive as hell for the money ($13). We had a Kistler chard that cost 10x this recently, and I thought this was nearly as good. Acid, fruit, oak all in great balance, good complexity.

lovely fresh and tart; full mouth; subdued citrus, pineapple/pear predominate; held its own with Indian food; nice chard
