Nectarine, almonds, citrus, lots more. Body, texture, balance, length. Great to drink. Enjoyed this bottle over five hours, each subsequent glass had more going for it than the one previous. So I think this is likely to improve with more cellar time. Score for final glass.

Delicious again. Exhibits quite complex flavours and aromas, as previously described. The palate is beautifully balanced, between some acid tenseness and oily ease. The finish is fine and lingers wonderfully. Holds up very well the following day as well. Not sure if I can keep my hands off this.

Stone fruits and a hint of lemon and chalk on the nose. Palate is so balanced, with taut acid giving a wonderfully fine and long structure. Nuts, stone fruits, citrus, oatmeal, minerals. It tastes even more complex the following day.

Beautiful nose matching a complex very Burgundian style palate of creamy bur well intergrated oak treatment, elegant but obvious fruit, with a nuttiness and a mineral edge. This is all nicely integrated with a French 'oiliness' to the end of the palate. Great wine especially for price.

A very intense and serious nose with a well balanced freshness and zing. The dominant notes are citrus and stone fruit, with a flinty, almost matchstick angle. The palette is bursting with acidity and mineral texture and the lime mid pallet carries right through to the finish. This is great value Yarra Chardonnay from a producer that keeps getting this right vintage after vintage.

A big citrus nose of tangerine and lemon with bright, fresh stone fruit, and delicate nutty oak. The palette is young, bright and lively, and the finish is complex. This one is a keeper at it will evolve as well in the future as it did in the glass over a few nights.

Nectarine, peach, pear, nuts. Well balanced, with fresh, juicy acidity. Drinking well.

I agree with Avid Wino's comments. It's about 12-18 months from it's peak drinking window.

Got to love this brand and this wine. QPR through the roof. Full of peach, nectarine and honeydew, with nutty tones and a taut, minerally backbone.
