Similar comments to December last year. Certainly hasn’t improved. Still quite acidic and a little harsh. Still predominantly citrus with a little hay & vanilla.

Medium lemon. Citrus nose. Quite acidic, chewy sharp citrus palate. Wet stones, unripe fruit. 13.5% abv. Quite pleasant, possibly will improve.

Pale gold colour. Medium (+) and developing nose with yellow apples, ripe lemon, peach, smoke, flint, charred wood and butter. Medium (+) taste of yellow apples, ripe lemon, peach, smoke, flint, charred wood and butter. Long and dry finish. High acidity. Medium body. A very good New Zealand Chardonnay. Drink now or over the next couple of years. Goes well with cheeses, fish or shellfish.
