Variety: Chardonnay
Region/G.I.: Port Phillip, Geelong
Vintage: 1998
Closure: Cork
Alcohol: 13.9%
Colour: Dark yellow
Bouquet: Honeyed tones, rockmelon (cantaloupe), bottle age
Flavour: Medium length which was surprising with orange peel, hazelnut and creamy flavours balanced elegantly. Held together very nicely with a slightly tart sourness. Serious and enjoyable.
Points: 89 (4+8+12+7+8+50)
Notes: The highlight of last weekend when I had friends over for lunch. F is a fan of Chardonnay and this was a gamble and a great bet. Bought from a specialist seller this year for $22~450Kc.
