Shadowfax, Hoddles Creek
Shadowfax Chardonnay 2004 More in the style I prefer Chardonnay to be, softer and more elegant than most in Australia. Unfortunately, the palate wanted for a little more acidity/structure and the fruit was a little dominated by the high quality oak. If the fruit and structure were there, I could wait for the oak to integrate further but this bottle seemed like an earlier drinker.
Hoddles Creek Pinot Noir 2005 Delicious pinot noir, quite expressive, pretty fruits in the strawberry spectrum. Complete. Drinking nicely now. Really opened up over an hour.
