Nov 4th, 2014Trying this one for science; a bargain auction purchase. It's definitely past its prime, but it's still not a bad drink. The oaky elements are still there along with a bit of fruit, but the brightness has fallen away. Reckon I'll be drinking the current ones a lot younger (say 5-7 years max).

Oct 1st, 2017This really does taste like a well made chardonnay. It's young - it needs time to settle down a bit. But it's still very, very enjoyable right now and hopefully has a bright future ahead. Can't believe how cheap it is! Yum.

May 27th, 2017Lean but full of flavour. White peach, lemon, a tiny bit of creaminess and a stoney/minerally finish. Such good value!

Aug 4th, 2016Lean and mean with some reductive character. Earthiness and spice.

May 12th, 2016Disappointing. Previous vintages have been really well balanced with some creamy oakiness. This was just fruity, overly acidic and below average.
