Penfolds Bin 144 Yattarna Chardonnay 2019, 750ml

Country: Australia

Grape Varietal: Chardonnay

Tasting Notes:
COLOUR: Very pale, vibrant, glistening straw with green hues.

NOSE: An immediate assertion of its cool-climate birthright - mineral, wet-stone flint and bath salts. Radiant fruits concord – notably grapefruit, Meyer lemon and Beurre Bosc pear aromas hold court. These fruits conspire with lees and oak to induce flashes of torched meringue, crème brûlée, roasted hazelnut and tahini. Majestic, yet not too ostentatious.

PALATE: Confidently powerful and complex, yet still beguiling graced with florals.

Layered and textural: 
•  A salivating lattice construct, compliments of graphite phenolics and acidity, dimensionally empowering the wine  (and no doubt its longevity).
• Oak present yet quietly conceding its supportive role to the same powerful fruits aromatically noted above. Possessing quite a palate ‘presence’ – primarily a tension between power and finesse.  An endearing purity, formidable length.
 

Alcohol Content: 12.5%
