| beautiful expression of florals in two wines. one wine lacks the same floral lift and fruit presence. Lovely maturity and complexity in older wine. Younger wine is beautifully floral. Middle wine appears different expression of fruit and phenolics. finishes a bit sweet and malo |
| a great line up of wines Crunchy fresh acid, subtle tropical fruits and honey blossom. Wines show restraint. |
| A solid trio, good advocates for the variety. The older wine has a lovely 'salad leaves simply dressed' quality but is just starting to hollow out and shorten up. Younger two wines are lovely examples of the variety. |
| W1: some kero development, creamy, some phenolic texture and moderate acidity. More developing grilled nut character pop up on the finish which has reasonable persistance. W2: looking quite youthful in colour and profile, some pithy, green almond bitterness on the palate W3: pale colour, very youthful, bit estery, moderate intensity and lacks some persistance |
| nice flow of savoury elements through the wines. , saline white flower elements , wines have aged well , 18 exhibiting textural development |

| This is an expression of Australian Vermentino in a cool climate and we believe this wine is showing true ageability |
