Andrew Jefford: Pale, bright gold in color. Clean, though perhaps overly restrained aromas at first; a little honeycomb emerges after a while in the glass, and peachy fruit with a further 10 minutes or so. The palate is sappy, zingy, spring-loaded, entirely structured by prominent, relatively lean acidity. A good, workable, fish-friendly cool-climate Chardonnay, though lacking much sense of intricacy or inner architecture. It does, however, have a little more palate width than [Tamar Ridge Kayena Vineyard Tamar Valley Tasmania 2009]. Good wine. 14

Jancis Robinson: Mid-gold. Fresh and crisp nose. Lightly floral rather than particularly Burgundian. Tastes of lime sherbet. Perfectly competent but not the most ambitious. Recalls old-style Australian Chardonnay for me, rather than new. Some astringency. Drink 2012–14. 16

Anthony Rose: Pale in color; delicately smoky aromas and a nice inviting freshness on the nose, suggesting a degree of complexity; the bright, spritz-fresh fruit is intense and refreshing, with a cool-climate melon and apple quality, the finish intensely crisp, dry, and refreshing with the lightest of nutty oak touches supporting the mouthwateringly zesty fruit freshness. Still youthfully intense, with a long life ahead of it. 17.5
