Penfolds Bin 311 Chardonnay 750mL Bottle, $44.99

Nose: Full-flavoured, endowed with a concentrated fruit spectrum of citrus, grapefruit and white peach. Hints of sherbet, camomile and goats cheese complex the aromatic offer – a chardonnay cast assembled from three States of Australia. Certainly, there’s quite the performance happening in the glass, with barely a swirl of the glass and some air required to light up the stage! Palate: First and foremost, this wine extolls freshness, yet not at the expense of an endearing richness and generosity of flavour. Whilst some may perceive it to be slightly ‘larger-framed’ than in previous years it nevertheless retains trademark Bin 311 mineral acidity and linearity. Rockmelon and white peach fruits are pronounced. Underlying sherbet and fresh lemon tart impressions coupled with a lovely creaminess add to the structural and flavour pool. A trademark Penfolds phenolic grip certainly doesn’t curtail length or volume. Yes, proactively rich, fresh and assertive! Drinkability? Do we have to wait?!<br /> <br />Alcohol Volume: 13.00%<br /><br />Pack Format: Bottle<br /><br />Standard Drinks: 7.7<br /><br />Pack Type: Bottle<br /><br />Country of Origin: Australia<br /><br />Region: Adelaide Hills<br /><br />Vintage: Vintages Vary<br />
