Review Date : 26-Sep-2023
Bright, even, medium yellow gold. Fine and persistent bead. The nose is full, with rich aromas of nougat, brioche and honeysuckle underlying roasted peach, baked apple and citrus preserve. Medium-full bodied, aromas of baked apple, roasted peach and lemon preserve intertwined with nougat, brioche, honeysuckle and crystallised ginger. A powerful wine with complex flavours, integrated layers and a broad palate. Match with Christmas cake and glazed ham over the next 3 years. 100% Chardonnay spent 7 years on lees, 12.7% alc, 4.46 g/l RS. 18.5/20 pts (93 pts) Sep 2023 RRP $95
