Penfolds Yattarna Chardonnay 2018

WINE FRONT 96+ POINTS!

 

"It’s once again from Tasmania, the Adelaide Hills and Tumbarumba regions. It saw 60% new French oak for eight months.

What it lacks in flamboyance it makes up for in finesse. This offers all the complexities you could ever want but if the Reserve Bin A is a water-balloon-above-the-doorway style then this is more of a treasure hunt in a chardonnay garden. Look and you’ll find flint, pear, nectarine, lime and cedar but what you notice more is the strength of the acidity and the startling carry of the finish. The word searing popped into mind. The finish here makes an impression, almost physically, and inspires pleasure, almost painfully. This wine’s waters are calm but we need to float out into them for at least a couple of years before dipping to cup and drink from them. Drink from 2022." - Wine Front
