See previous note from September 2022. Great palate intensity - generous flavours of ripe stone fruit - yellow peach. Not quite as full bodied as Art Series Chardonnay but more generous than a lot of the also excellent Yarra Valley Chardonnays which tend to be more struck match reductive. Rich and creamy palate texture - ripe peach. Drinking at its peak.

Bass Phillip is arguably the best producer of Pinot Noir in Australia so you would expect he would produce an excellent Chardonnay - and he does. This had full buttercup yellow in colour. Big and generous - rich and buttery with ripe fruit and integrated oak. Some notes of pear amongst the stone fruit. Somewhat old fashioned in style.
