2007 Rosemount - Chardonnay Show Reserve (Hunter Valley)
Vinography 8.5-9

Pale yellow-gold in the glass, this wine has a nose of cold cream and buttered popcorn. In the mouth it is smooth and mellow, with flavors of cold cream, lemon curd, and nice mineral notes, lit from the side, as it were with the faintest rays of oak. Not complex, but quite tasty.

Vinography 9

Pale yellow-gold in color, this wine has a nose of mineral and buttered sourdough toast aromas that blossom with a little time and air. In the mouth it is silky and beautiful with nice balance and flavors of buttercream, lemon zest, and apple pie with a nice mineral note that lingers on the finish.

Golden with a watery rim. Classic apricot and honeyed botrytis aromas. Very forward. Rich and concentrated but not cloying because of the good acidity. Sweet white-stone fruits and a hint of raisin on the finish. Smooth, sweet and delicious. Excellent value.

Deep concentrated blackcurrant appearance that is virtually clear. Smells of blue and black berry, smoked ham, cherry wood, raspberry, and warm spice. A deep alcoholic pungent nose. Tart and fruity with sweet pineapple, blackberry, cherry and warm spice carried through to the palate. A smooth voluptuous texture with soft tannins and a rich fruity body. Very Good.

Much lighter styled than past vintages (the 98 remains a mid nineties point blockbuster). A big nose coupled with stemmy fruit with a long finish.

A bit dryer than I expected. Kind of fruity - berries, perhaps. Not unpleasant, but I prefer their everyday shiraz. Visit my website: Complaint Hub

Deep raspberry with a dark red core. Floral and apricot aromas from the viognier. Full bodied with smooth tannins. Sweet cherry, white stone fruits and traditional shiraz pepper spice on the finish. Good.

Golden yellow. Lemon and a hint of leesy yeast on the nose. Medium body with good crisp acidity; light alcohol. Sweet lemon fruit on the attack; toffee and a little toast on the finish. Good. Shame they'd run out of the 1998.
