Previous notes of pastille/confectionery a year ago replaced by sappy sweet notes on nose and palate. Have always liked Yarra Valley Pinots since the great Bailey Carrodus Pinots from the 80s at Yarra Yering. — 8 years ago

Big oak, old school Chardonnay with enough length and fruit to pull it off. Mandarin, peach and just a touch of spice with a nicely drying finish. — 6 years ago
Taken in the restaurant by a customer with no expectation.
Pretty mute nose, little beeswax, lots of lanolin, almond milk.
Odd first impression when you sip...and then it explodes... very creamy with grapefruit, lime, lemongrass, nutty, macadamia, buttery , minerally (copper). Superlative!! Age wise a monster, so delicate, but very precise 🙏👌🏽 — 6 years ago

Making notes from memory 2 days later. A departure from trying local Gippsland wines back to the ever reliable Yarra Valley for Pinot Noir and Tarrawarra. Red fruited and sappy. Owned by another Melbourne billionaire, and philanthropist, Marc Besen (like the recently visited Point Leo owned by fellow billionaire and brother in law in John Gandel). . Worth a visit if you’re in the Yarra not only for the wines but the fabulous Australian Art Collection. I had lunch here around 5 or 6 years ago and viewed the art and enjoyed their Pinot and Chardonnay. Footnote: Marc Besen passed away 2 months ago aged 99. — 4 months ago
