Glossy garnet. Classic Australian Cabernet nose with menthol and blackcurrant; still fresh and youthful. In the glass the nose shows a slight aroma of elastoplast. Balanced and complex with smooth tannins, sweet black fruits and spicy cedar. |

From one of my favorite Australian producers, this wine rarely disappoints. A giving nose of petrol, honey, spice and lime. Well balanced acid and fruit (dry) but of a high magnitude. |

Blonde in color with maybe a green highlight or two. Nose: fantastic green apple with honey forefront and mineral background. Taste: loads of green apple, good acidity calling out for food. Light bodied. Long finish of green apple and some mineral characteristics. We like it a lot, this would be a great wine with asian food where some oil is used. The acidity will have you salivating for your next bite and it will cut through the cooking oil. |

2006 Cullen - Chardonnay

Green with a hint of straw; watery at the rim. Buttery oak on the nose, powerful but not overdone. Full bodied with crisp acidity. Rich pineapple, grapefruit and apricot on the palate; good complexity. The pineapple returns in a buttery long finish. Excellent - almost slightly burgundian. |

Light to medium green gold color. Few thick slow moving legs. A complex nose of earth overtones, apricot, tropical fruits, almond, slight clove, peach, and vanilla spice. A bright clean fresh aroma. On the palate, the wine displays immature flavors that echo the nose along with some alcoholic overtones. Excellent length really a beautiful somewhat unique Chardonnay. Drink now (but better in two years) to 2008. |

Wonderful, almost in a puligny style. Started at celler temp and by the time it got to room temp it was perfect. Not bad for a 7 year old ausie chard... |

Initially muted nose that evolves over hours with citrus, spice and mineral notes. This wine is well balanced and just coming into the drinking window. Decant for at least 1-2 hours. |

Clear, medium lemon in colour. Clean, medium to pronounced nose of ripe stone fruits, some white flowers, minerals and a hint of smoke. Dry, medium to high acidity, medium+ alcohol. Lots of ripe fruits on the palate. Minerally long finish. very polished. Not heavy despite the concentration. Burgundian in an Australian way. Nicole Kidman like. Excellent quality. High priced. Can keep for another 5 years but drinking well now. |
