Tasting from a week ago at Mick’s place. This was very restrained for a Hunter Valley Chardonnay. Nothing like Tyrrells Vat 47 for example which is usually ripe and buttery. Light to medium weight - more lemony and citrus than stone fruit. An excellent Chardonnay nevertheless.

Dec 31st, 2014Another Hunter Valley beauty. Love the wines from Lake's Folly, especially when they have as much mineral driven tension as this one. Not at all a fat-n-flabby but a well built, chic Chardy of impeccable structure and finesse.
