enjoyable for the experience but wouldn't be happy to pay the asking price as it is past its prime.

Chardonnay lovers, get this 2019 Moss Wood in your glass ASAP. You can thank me later 😉
A big thank you to Moss Wood for sending this beauty over for us to sample. We enjoyed every last drop.
2019 was a challenging vintage in Margaret River (WA). This was due to things like frost, super cold temperatures, birds eating the grapes and more rain than normal. As Moss Wood said, “The only thing we didn’t get was hail, so perhaps we should be thankful”.
Despite the hurdles, this wine has come out absolutely beautifully in my opinion. And no doubt will be very enjoyable over the next decade or so. That’s if you have the patience to cellar it 😉
In the glass it’s an alluring yellow shade with a golden glimmer to it. Fresh vanilla oak, a sprinkling of spice, juicy tropical fruits, pears and a hint of minerality come through on the nose. In the mouth it’s just perfection. It’s impeccably well rounded and simply darn scrumptious. A Chardonnay highlight of my year 🙌
This wine was sent to me as a sample, I was under no obligation to post about it.
All opinions are based on my own taste buds. Wine is subjective & always evolving, so make sure you drink what you enjoy!

Last bottle... and one of the best..!
Boatloads of butter and vanilla, hazelnut, paraffine, tropical flowers and cantaloupe. Rich, broad, well balanced, superb.
Have worked my way through a case bought at an auction in 2009 for a good price. Alas, there has been considerable bottle variation, but the best bottles were really great.

Really enjoyable dining chardonnay (had it with fried trout and whipped potatoes). Ghee-butter bitterness and still some melon and lycee fruit flavors

Apr 19th, 2017Oxidative notes are emerging. Amber colour. Hazelnut, saffron, caramel, grilled peaches, vanilla and cream. Still alive and enjoyable, but don't wait too long....

Oct 14th, 2016Hazelnut, caramel and vanilla. Fruit fading, wine has started its decline now. Still tasty, though.
