Simple stuff here; ripe stone fruits, nougat and butterscotch. Has length and depth on its side

Proof that great Aussie Chardonnays do age. This Yarra classic has complexity, elegance, lovely stone fruit notes and beautifully integrated oak. Delicious!

Usually a wine I really enjoy for the price. This time it’s not quite hitting the mark. Nose and front palate are pleasant without being well defined, but the finish is a little harsh.

Good wine. Fruit and acid in balance, oak playing a restrained supporting role. Lean. Good structure and nice fresh drinking right now. Could develop well.

(16/20) В аромате яблоки, ананас, цедра лимона, ваниль. Тельное с относительно высокой кислотностью. Приятная сливочно-ореховая текстура. Долгое послевкусие.

Oak, vanilla, apple and spices. Flavours of gooseberry, melons, lemon and a medium long finish. Great texture.

Oh how I've missed this one! Delicious nose of melon and toasty oak a hint of citrus. Round and smooth on the tongue, with a clean zesty finish.
