2014 Penfolds Reserve Bin A, Chardonnay White | Ready, but will improve | Penfolds | Code:  35914 | 2014 | Australia > South Australia | Chardonnay | Full Bodied, Dry | 12.5 % alcohol

Brighter, fresher and more restrained than I remember previous releases: this has real freshness on the nose with bright citrus fruit and subtle complexity, with hints of freshly crushed almond. Cool, glossy and textured on the palate, underpinned by tangy citrus acidity; this is balanced, racy and fresh, closer to the style of Yattarna in previous releases, but with a softer, more generous mouth-feel. The wine is fermented in 80 percent new French oak, but this is so well-integrated you wouldn’t know. It would be fun to taste blind.

WA - Having spent nine months in French oak barriques (82% new), the naturally fermented 2014 Reserve Bin 14A Adelaide Hills Chardonnay opens with a pronounced tropical fruit and apricot-laced nose with plenty of meal and cashew hints plus pleasant whiffs of struck match and cedar. The palate reveals wonderful intensity and a satiny texture packed into an elegant light body with layered stone fruit and nut characters and a good long finish.
Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Wine Advocate
