No formal notes - at an old friends unit at Main Beach for dinner. Always one of Margaret River’s leading Chardonnays - more in the peaches and cream Leeuwin Art Series style using riper fruit. Enough acid to carry this through to the latter part of the 2020’s.

On flight from Dubai to Singapore. Pierro vintage reserve Chardonnay , 2013. Nice green tints with the light lemon gold. Comes across quite restrained , oak is nicely balanced with ripe apple , citrus , maybe a touch of pineapple or passion fruit. In the mouth , ripe fruit again , apple and citrus, but also grapefruit, mineral also perhaps. Quite focused, well balanced though there is a creamy richness that makes me think that there must be a reasonable amount of alcohol, full bodied. Long finish , nicely balanced acidity but due to the richness of the wine it doesn't give real refreshment, this is serious Chardonnay however. A good , enjoyable wine though may not be able to finish more than a couple of glasses!
