Written Notes

Absolutely beautiful – so intense, with creamy, spicy oak that weaves in seamlessly. Excellent intensity and depth, with all the complexity that you could hope for from the very best Chardonnays around the world. Still in great shape (thank you screwcap!) – and there's a lovely lingering smoky finish.

2013 Penfolds Yattarna Chardonnay 100% Chardonnay, 96% Tasmania, 4% Adelaide Hills First Vintage 1995 “A sparkling light straw colour. The nose here is unreservedly gorgeous. Grilled pink grapefruit, juniper, white currant, hints of star anise, preserved lemon, blackcurrant, brioche, nashi pear, a hint of slate and white pepper spice. A lovely salted/toasty edge to the oak. Powerful. Light yet rich. Outstanding. At 12.5% alcohol, and sourced primarily from Coal River valley and Derwent valley in Tasmania with the rest from the Adelaide Hills, this sees a combination of old and new oak (62% new and 38% 1YO, the one year component is second year oak from the Reserve Bin A). 97 points and $150.”

Good looking normal size bottle. Colour is green-yellow and light. On the nose it is open, youthful, complex and refined. The taste is fresh, round, harmonious, and dry, and average in acidity, medium-bodied, with perfectly balanced, concentrated structure and youthful. On the palate it is layered and has smoky, toasty, citrus, tropical fruits and buttery flavours. The finish is long, lingering, flavorful and vibrant. This wine is well-rounded and fine. Perfectly stored bottles are still very worthy and will last well for another 10-15 years and decant at least 1h before tasting.
