Pale straw green. The bouquet has started to open up, touch of funk plus cashew. The palate belies the high acidity, or perhaps indicates what it was before 50% plus mlf. Its balance is faultless. Oak invisibly melded into the fabric of the white stone fruits. 12.7% alcohol. Screwcap. Drink to 2030. 

97 points James Halliday Weekend Australian

Clones I10V1 and I10V5 from the Meadowbank vineyard in the Derwent Valley. Whole-bunch pressed. Fermented and matured with monthly stirring for 9 months in 228L French oak barriques (40% new); 50% mlf. Epitomising the ideal that every element in larger-than-life amplitude can constitute exacting balance. This is a vintage of heightened stone fruit and fig met confidently by cashew-nut notes of French oak and the cut and tension of Tasmanian malic acidity. It's at once fleshy and taut, rich and lively, holding every detail of this grand parade long on the finish. Ready for main course fare from the outset, this is a full-bodied chardonnay by every definition, and it's a good one.
