  Outstanding. I must disagree with previous reviewer who may have been in possession of flawed bottles. In the vintec since release, I pulled this out last night and was not disappointed. Lovely mature Chardonnay which is fully developed. The colour was deep gold, giving an indication of what was to come. Sweet honey and stone fruits on the nose and palette. So smooth. The mature honey flavours dominate and will bring much pleasure to lovers of aged Chardonnay. I can't see it improving from here to drink up if you have some.

  This wine was in better shape than the last. Still seemed to have alot of unpleasant sulphur character. However some nice fruit and some minerality.

  A big chardonnay. Delicious when left in the glass for a short time.

  Light gold but showing no real signs of ageing. Nose citrus with pineapple.
  Palate smooth linear but after taste terrible - burnt tar and stewed fruit combo.... If there is such a thing. Hopefully some air may improve it. Real disappointment- flawed?? I will try another bottle before final judgement.

  Wine-Ark Cellar Club Tasting 6 - July 2010, Mitchell, Moss Wood and Yarra Yerring (Roof Terrace Australian Museum): Nose: cream and butter, almond, sweet candied fruit especially apricot. Floral top notes.
  Mouth: apricot and cream, some other stone fruit e.g. nectarine and good acidity. Very, very nice. No oak.
  Very, very big chardonnay but beautifully integrated, even at this young age.
