Gippsland, Victoria, Australia
One of the best Chardonnays I’ve had this year. My last bottle of 2017. Will have to try and remember my notes. On the nose a good combination of citrus and Stone fruit aromas with stone fruit having the slight ascendancy. A rich delicious palate showing increased complexity at nearly 10 years. See previous Delectable notes. Probably at its peak.

May 11th, 2026This is an excellent Chardonnay keeping pace with Bass Phillip’s Premium Pinot Noir. That has not always been the case but this certainly is. Stone fruit and honeycomb with a creamy texture and medium plus intensity on the palate. Enough acid to warrant having the last bottle later in the year or early in 2027.

Jan 26th, 2026Catching up on wines we have had since returning from the Henschke weekend. Brief notes. A seashell note in amongst the stone fruit (peach and nectarine) honeysuckle and warm stone. A layered highly textural wine. Very good and what you would expect from Bass Phillip. The first of 3. Next in a year or two.
