Penfolds Yattarna Chardonnay 2012

COLOUR: Pale straw with lime green hues
NOSE: Upon pouring - an instant propulsion of assorted fruits escape from the glass. White peach, grapefruit, Nashi pear and lemongrass with a piquant sprinkle of lemon/lime drops. A (French) oak derived nuttiness laced with a subtle splash of molten hazelnut/almond praline. Engaging, tempting.
PALATE: Immediately complex…the sum of many parts. Iced tea, barley water, grapefruit…and linearity induced via acidity and non-fined natural phenolics. Crunchy fresh unsalted nuts – cashew and almonds/almond meal in cohorts with a creamy/natural yogurt unctiousness. Impressive length and depth of flavour.
