[Tasted on April 27, 2024 at City House in Nashville with Jay]
Blackberry, black licorice, chocolate. — 2 months ago
Medium lemon colour with green reflexes . On the nose quite intense lime syrup , lemon peel, with honey , green herbs and a candle wax note . On the palate lime cordial and pithy lemon rind notes with a honied richness. Quite high , almost saline acidity . Quite intense with good length and slightly honied , toasty , herbal tinged finish. This is drinking well now though still showing quite young . Drink over the next 10-15 years — 5 months ago
Tasting from a week ago at Mick’s place. This was very restrained for a Hunter Valley Chardonnay. Nothing like Tyrrells Vat 47 for example which is usually ripe and buttery. Light to medium weight - more lemony and citrus than stone fruit. An excellent Chardonnay nevertheless. — 14 days ago

The nose is reminiscent of a SB with nice mix of citrus, tropical, and melon fruits with hint of hay. The initial entry feels like a Chablis that’s acidic and steely, but the body gains weight in the glass and there is hint of sweetness and white floral toward the finish.
Not much experience with 100% Semillon, but this is very nice. — 8 days ago
