<p><b>95 points</b> - Light gold. Touches of reduction, lees influences on the nose, nuanced. Tremendous power and precision here, the fruit lithe and muscular, like a wild cat waiting to pounce. The acidity is tightly wound, refined and penetrating, the finish reverberating and long. A delicious hulk of a wine, big yet dancing at the same time.</p><p>Tasted on Thu, Nov 9, 2023.</p>

<p><b>93 points</b> - Light green with brownish tint. Lees nougat aromas with melon, mineral aftertones. Creamy palate with strong amplitude and power. Long finish. Oustanding wine. Will develop with a bit more time.</p><p>Tasted on Thu, Nov 9, 2023.</p>

<p><b>89 points</b> - Medium dark red. Some funky, animalic tones. Palate is a little sappy, almost austere, with some bitterness that would be suited to food. Some cherry liquor notes.</p><p>Tasted on Sun, Dec 13, 2020.</p>

<p><b>95 points</b> - Light gold. Expressive, complex nose of struck flint, gunpowder, nuts. An assault on the palate, this is evolving and powerful, tension rippling, lithe and toned. A statuesque wine, like a carved marble figure. Grapefruit, citrus and lees stirring and flinty complexity, excellent concentration and flavour.</p><p>Tasted on Tue, Jun 9, 2020.</p>

<p><b>94 points</b> - Pale green. Lemon grapefruit nose. On the palate the wine hits you with a citrus intensity straight up. Struck flint style, slightly reductive. Needs a bit of air. Superb structure and length.</p><p>Tasted on Tue, Jun 9, 2020.</p>

<p><b>92 points</b> - Pale green colour with whiff of freshness straight off the bottle. Lemon grassy aromas up front, with slightly reductive notes. A refreshing Chardonnay, quite light on its feet. Delightful drink now, will age probably a good 4-6 years.</p><p>Tasted on Mon, Jun 1, 2020.</p>

<p><b>91 points</b> - Pale gold. Restrained nose of florals and struck flint, minerally. Palate shows great tension and linearity, good concentration. There’s a primal flavour about it, really good bones. A touch of phenolic grip at the end, firm and cleansing. A sharp, entry level chardonnay.</p><p>Tasted on Mon, Jun 1, 2020.</p>

<p><b>93 points</b> - Really,very good. Neutral nose, but terrific complexity and length on the palate. Not a crowd pleaser though.</p><p>Tasted on Mon, Apr 25, 2016.</p>

<p><b>92 points</b> - Quite bitter for now. Acidity not sticking out too far. Should be at its peak around 2017. 92+</p><p>Tasted on Sun, Jun 28, 2015.</p>

<p><b>94 points</b> - Possibly the best Hoddles pinot I've had. Rhubarb and black cherry. Plush, but with structure. Will buy more.</p><p>Tasted on Sun, Oct 12, 2014.</p>
