Quite a heavily wooded Chardonnay buttery, smooth and aging gracefully. A fine drop.

Drinking great now. Yet cellaring will open this wine out as Lake Breeze wines always reward patience. — 12 years ago

Probably was not a great wine to start with. No depth or flavour, not far off turning. Tipped down the sink

Daniel Mackinnon

Structurally great and a reasonably good drop but needs time in the bottle which is not surprising with this type of wine. — 12 years ago
