Darker and more brooding than Primavera. More structured. Plums, cherries, lilac and dried strawberries. Blood/iron notes. Classic — 5 years ago

Any lovers of Australian reds would fall in love here, bright present but heaps of depth should have held on for another 7 years — 6 years ago

9.1

Aromas of citrus and pineapple juice. Fermented in a clay amphora on Skins with no Malolactic Fermentation. No oak. This wine making gives another level of freshness, intensity and minerality. An excellent wine from one of Australia’s pre-eminent wine makers, Steve Flamsteed. Winery says cellar up to 6 years - I cannot see my bottles lasting that long! — 8 years ago

Chardonnay, Russian River Valley. Unctuous, sleek and full bodied all at the same time. Gotta love the deft acidity, fresh fruit and rich toasty oak. — 9 years ago

More delicate and filigree than Wombat. Traditional chablis profile - citrus, some mineral and spice from oak. Linear and focused with strong acid spine. — 5 years ago

Perfect with my steak & shrimp dinner! Not sweet at all (which is normally what I look for in wine).. I’m sure I’d be told to serve warm but wine for me must be cold. I’ll buy again for compliments to my meals. Could even see sipping it for a nightcap on cool nights. — 7 years ago

Delicious and crisp wine, with slight berry note, but still quite dry and smooth. Great feature at total wine in VA — 9 years ago

9.5

Sublime bio red Sancerre, balanced taste of red fruits (e.g. morello cheery) and spices. Long-lasting taste evolving throughout the diner. Great wine with girolle mushrooms. — 9 years ago

Red berry with lots of tannin. This inexpensive label produces dependably good quality wine. — 10 years ago

9.0

Prior notes from 125 weeks ago still apply although I didn’t find this full bodied like I said over 2 years ago. There was that stalkiness and more savoury than fruity. The Yarra Valley is so versatile and does all the great grape varieties well with the exception of Riesling which is not planted. — 6 years ago

Between Applejack and Sexton, this displays strawberries all day, with twists of mushroom funk, sandalwood spice, and red cherries. Good — 7 years ago

Great Chardonnay. Ticks all the boxes. Beautiful line and length with plenty of fruit and subtle winemaking influences. Delicious — 8 years ago

9.7

Almost 2 yrs ago I wrote: "Half way through a case and the romance deepens. Giant scorched earth and oiled leather nose. Epic battle of extracted dark-red fruit sweetness and a light juicy acidity. All in a smooth-as-silk package. Ageing so gracefully, 10+ years from peaking." After last night I'll add: probably peaked after 2 hr decant, no need to wait but this has the tannins and pure extracted fruit to take it at least 10 more years. — 9 years ago
