Decanter Magazine Review
Rated 93
Fresh, clean and unadorned, this mod Australian Chardonnay is in unabashed naked form here. Volume on the fruit notes is turned down - white nectarines over lean grapefruit and the focus is on the even, modulated mid-palate. It's a long, easy ride through the flavours, held in check by fine-grained oak that promotes a lovely savoury lick at the finish. Drinking Window: 2021-2028.
Wine Tasting Notes
Penfolds Bin 311 Adelaide Hills-Henty Chardonnay is fresh and inviting - complexed by yeast lees-derived nougat and ground pistachio/almond/roasted chestnut. Scents of deconstructed creme brulee (flamed top and custardy middle), enhanced by ripe white nectarine and peach fruits. A liberal sprinkle of crushed rock/pebble dust (quartz, limestone?) certainly adds interest. A very lively palate of freshly sliced cucumber and lime citrus flavors hovering over a soft and succulent acid underpinning. A tight phenolic grip induces wonderful length and drive to the finish.
