Ripe stone fruits, touches of pineapple, touch of diacetyl and some sweet oak. Incredibly balanced, with lovely touch oak tannin through the back palate. Bold.

Elegant, well made but not my kind of wine, a bit too much vanilla

Well structured, tropical, balanced. Tasted Friday 10/5 and re tasted Saturday 11/5. Preferred the Saturday. Needs oxygen

A little too much oak for me, aside from that, very good south Australian chard.

Absolutely agree with other comments - vanilla on the nose and palate - probably starting to fade a bit but very enjoyable nonetheless

Superb wine. Cool site, warm year - that old adage. Powerful wine, yet a subtlety to it. Gives and gives across fruit, acid, sensitive oak. Prima!
