A flinty funky nose. Palate is balanced showing pear and wet rock and manages to be creamy on the front palate with a cleansing acidity at the back end. Great winemaking - not surprising when you know Steve Flamsteed (ex Giant Steps) is involved. From a great vintage in the Yarra Valley. Had my 2nd last bottle 81 weeks later on 8th January 2026 with no additional notes to add to the above. Just a class act. I will make a fresh Delectable note for the last bottle. I ended up having the last bottle on 25th April 2026 so I didn’t make a new tasting note. An excellent well balanced Chardonnay. You would not expect anything less from Steve Flamsteed.
