"The nose shows complex caramel and butter notes, not rich so much as deep. Layered on top are fruit aromas of white stonefruit and honeydew melon, themselves topped by a range of funky, savoury notes. There's a lot to smell here, all well arranged and integrated, but the conventional markers of quality aren't adequate to explain why the aroma is so magnetic, why it demands to be smelled over and over. The palate is as much of textural interest as it is flavour, and what makes the first impression is a certain fullness of palate weight and slipperiness of mouthfeel. It's a luxurious wine for sure, one that delivers its caramel and stonefruit flavours on a bed of satin sheets and down pillows. And yet it's not a blowsy wine at all, thanks to a strongly savoury thread that runs alongside the softer flavours, giving them bite and keeping the wine's flavour profile taut. Acid contributes to a lively after palate, and the finish winds up on a fabulously savoury twist, like the most refreshing of old fashioned cocktails."

Huon Hooke 95 points!"This is a multi-faceted wine with a rich bouquet of toasted nuts, butter, vanilla and
caramel nuances. It's rich and full in the mouth, with satisfying weight and depth,
complexity and detail, yet remains light on its feet."

Tyson Stelzer 92 points! "Classic Mornington Chardonnay, combining the roundedness of fleshy white peach and butterscotch with the fresh drive of lemon and grapefruit, finishing balanced, clean and long."
