Oatmeal, nuts, creamy oak over white stone fruits, grapefruit and green apple. Medium bodied in the palate with definitive pineapple notes. Refreshing acidity, slight chalkiness in texture and decent finish. Bargain at $20

Trying 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).

This 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.

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

Pear with some nuttiness. Easy going; well priced at $18-$21👍🏻

Lean and mean with some reductive character. Earthiness and spice.

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