Cats ears
A laundry list of recent bottles. Dreaming of White Burgundy . Giaconda Chardonnay 2023 . Pale. 13.5% Emphatic but fine; power with grace. Almond meal, fabric softener and something struck. Compelling. Terrific poise and grip. No half measures or doubt here. A+ The 2016 tasting note. 2019 Dexter Chardonnay . Mornington. A poised and polished example. Confident, tanned, but perhaps too conformist. Ripe. Flinty and essence like. Globular texture. Bindi Quartz Chardonnay 2021 . A very sharp wine. Maybe the best Bindi I’ve had in recent (5 years) time. It must be near its peak. . . Juicy, bright, cordite and flint, stone fruit. Super tight, lean, long. Sadly my last bottle. . . Before . A+ Houghton EV 37 Old Vine Chenin blanc 2023 . With my blind tasting blinkers on, I feel no shame in calling this a Chardonnay. Whole bunches, wild yeast, old barrel fermentation, battonage. . . An excellent nod and wink to Jack Mann and his 1937 creation - the Houghton

Lucky Choice: Imperial, Talisker, Springbank
At the recent Limburg Whisky Fair I met some Asian friends. At the same time some of them didn't manage to reach Germany because of the silly war and transport problems. Lucky Choice's Rafael was one of them, but some of his samples travelled with others and managed to reach me nonetheless.Recent bottlings include Imperial, Talisker and Springbank. Check their website for more information.
