last bottle of what has at times been a really wonderful wine - this perhaps was not the best but still provided a lovely full mouthful of high quality SA Chardonnay

now fully mature - indeed the golden burnish might suggest over mature but on the palate this is still an elegant almost delicate wine. Yes there is oak, in fact quite a bit of it, but there is also a subtle raciness to the wine which has a long and satisfying finish. Maybe not for keeping too much longer but why wait?

Golden sun in colour and butterscotch on the nose but surprisingly light and elegant in the mouth with both melon and hazelnut in the mix - a lovely wine if not quite as amazing as the previous vintage - another year or more ahead of this wine I suggest

This bottle was distinctly more mature than the previous outing - slightly heavy and the fruit richer but not as elegant
