A quality wine by any measure. Strong flint and yeast notes. Palate starts round and powerful and then becomes mouthwatering and juicy with citrus and flinty acidity. Palate then ends with brioche and caramel and goes on and on. Outstanding p/q. You’d need to go burgundy 1er cru to get this level of balance, power, and complexity.

Mealy, brioche, mixed with fresh lemon and slate. Perfect balance of steely mineral, lemon sweetness, and buttery brioche. Wombat creek has been my favourite single vineyard Giant Steps a few times. This is outstanding. A complete wine.

Young, very pure and subtle. New page for AU chardonnay for me; could easily have mistaken for good Bouzeron.

Interesting savoury nose with onion, lead, gunpowder, and creamy lees notes. Palate is broad - marzipan, wax, almond, mixed in with traditional citrus and vanilla flavours. Big and serious. At Flamsheed tasting with RR.
