  Quite similar thoughts to the previous tasting from 2010. Still very rich, broad and powerful. Quite front end loaded and lack some structure but no doubt this has presence. Drink over next year.

  Doesn't hit the heady highs of the 1999 (still one of the best chardonnays I have ever drunk) but this is smart and good for the region. Looks a little developed for a 4 year old with a rich yellow hue. Sweet worked fruits on the nose and a soft / mild dusty oak character. Oak is a bit more noticable on the nose (think wood spice) but the fruit depth is a good match. Fruits are again worked, sweet and powerful, with tinge of citrus and minerals. Not sure if will get a lot better and quite seductive now.
