This is the 2nd rated Vasse Felix Chardonnay behind the world class Heytesbury and ahead of the amazing value Filius. This was my last 2017 having made no notes for the first two. Expresses everything which is great about Margaret River Chardonnay. Complexity without cost. Ripe grapefruit with a balanced creamy French oak note which is largely integrated at 7 years of age. More citrus than stone fruit - a little nectarine? Great QPR at $31 AUD. — 4 months ago
Rich red in color with medium plus intensity.
Fruit forward on the nose with red fruits and light oak.
Medium bodied with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with nice complexity.
Showing red cherries, raspberries, herbs, coffee, light oak, chocolates and peppercorn.
Nice finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries.
This 7 year old Barolo is already drinking very nicely, but still young and needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly.
Spicy and entertaining. Easy drinking and engaging. Elegant with good structure.
Nicely balanced and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.
Good right out of the bottle, and better with airtime.
100% Nebbiolo grapes were aged in large oak barrels for 3 years.
14.5% alcohol by volume.
91 points.

Rich black cherry aromas, juicy on the palate with soft acidity and soft tannins, a round and pleasing feel that's super drinkable. I take back my comment about not really liking any Italian wine!! — a month ago
