See previous notes from 2021 and 2022. This last bottle has filled out somewhat now showing more nectarine notes - not as lean as a year or two ago. Still enough acid to keep for a few more years.

Lemon in colour. Some flint in evidence and smoky barrel ferment characters - sulphides. Sweeter on the palate than you would expect from the nose. Rich lemon characters. Overall lean in style. Tasted 41 weeks later on 19th January 2022 with consistent notes. Still in the lean citric acid style. Had another bottle 69 weeks later on 5th August 2022. It had filled out somewhat and not as lean. Excellent winemaking on show - perhaps pick a bit later for more ripeness? Mac seems to be aiming for a more elegant style.

Excellent example of new wave Aussie Chardonnay. Mac nails it this vintage. Racy (natural) acidity, some matchstick flintiness and a sneaky richness that keeps it from being severe. Most heard comment at the in-store (from peeps used to the Cali version): this is really Chardonnay?
