When first opened this was amazing. The fruit is a bit richer than I'm used to with these wines (more golden peach than white nectarine), but it was beautifully balanced with crisp acidity. After a while I felt the acid began to poke out a bit more which marginally reduced my enjoyment, but all up it was still above average and it was a hit with my friends.

Good performance in the first few hours but fell after that. A bit little more oak on the nose and firm acidity on the palate. Nice chardonnay with food. And also fair price.
Almond meal, struck match and some peach/nectarine fruit to tie it all together. Quite brittle acidity. These Hoddles always do better with around 5 years bottle age, I expect this 2014 to be no different.

High quality Chardonnay at a reasonable price. Plenty of power and flavour here, but also good balance. Full fruit. Subtle oak. Excellent.

Lovely. Ready to go. Touch of grapefruit and pineapple. Almond also. Long finish, nice acid. Great value here after a small stint in the cellar.

还别说,临场表现真的挺不错的,果香桶香杂糅在一起,但是掉的也很快,如果要选入上点儿档次选酒考究的餐厅的酒单,我看过得去,因为这是款很考验侍酒,当然,也是很考验菜品是不是足够好吃到让人迅速把酒喝完的一款酒,嘻嘻。
