Dried peach, moist golden raisin, faint green herbs, ripe apricot, nectarine peel, lime peel, under-ripe mango, warm slate and saccharin-like powdered sugar on the tailing ended of the nose.
Go Nahe!!!
Paired with Taiwanese Five Spice Pork (Lu Rou Fan | 卤肉饭) over Jasmin rice with lightly fried eggs from our private egg factory in the backyard. Locally raised NY pork (Highland Farm, Old Chatham, NY). — 3 years ago
Pale Lemon in colour. Smoky sulphidic notes - struck match to the max - like a burnt matchbox factory. A totally different story on the beautiful medium + bodied palate verging on opulent. A sweetish peachy palate - downright delicious. Some good judges say this is the best Chardonnay in Australia. If not, definitely in the top 3. Wonderful with fresh oysters. — 4 years ago
Cheesecake Factory. Good fruit forward then spicy smooth finish. — 5 years ago

Nose has amazing Gardenia aromas, sweet honey, freshly milled white pepper and cold wax.
Palate has over-ripe cantaloupe, honey drizzle on green melon, (light) lemon/orange zest and juiced Clementine (faint). Light on the acidity and a bit long on the finish. Decanted 60m. (92-93 points, very nice)
Spectacular pairing to fried eggs (backyard egg factory paying its dues even in the cold of winter) over toasted couscous, softened garlic & red onion, fresh green onion and the star of the dish za'atar (I could eat this on cereal!). — 4 years ago
Well my son pulled this and well I liked it but he was enjoying while studying his electrical engineering project drawings as he heads out of town Tuesday for factory automation / robotics work - so proud so I just decided to drink and smile even though he deserved better but he wanted to try this so as a dad we did and he was right - stay heathy — 5 years ago

Nose has tart strawberry, ripe black cherry, blackberry, dried soil with peat and faint creamy oak notes.
Palate has ripe blackberry, ripe cherry, dried garden soil, thawed strawberries, light cedar influence, decent finish but we're underwhelmed overall. Maybe closing up now, revisit in 3-5Y, 2025-27.
Cork pulled, slow oxidation for 3H.
Solid pairing to toasted Israeli couscous, za'atar and lightly fried eggs from the backyard egg factory. For us, eggs are always a great pair to Bourgogne Rouge, they balance wonderfully.
(Also, for the record, no photo trickery on the food pic, our Australorp eggs are indeed that orange; Good diet equals good eggs.) — 3 years ago
