It's hard to fathom how a winery can sit on 5+ years of stock across 5 varieties, as is the case with Turramurra. I haven't tried the wines for some time but the 2000's, last tasted in 2002? looked quite good.
Anyway, fast forward to 2005 and the 2000 chard. This wine may have been a former Epicure Uncorked 'Best White Wine' but is now definately joining the 'fallen angel' brigade. Colour is holding up well, a slightly deep colour gold. Funky nose, developed, rich, lucoszade (??) notes. A bit bretty maybe. Drinks as expected in the mouth. More dirty developed notes and a hint of 'burn' in the back palate. Finishes quite well and is supported throughout with a thick palate structure. Would have been very nice 3 years ago (@ $29) and now struggles @ $17.
