Penfolds Yattarna Bin 144 Chardonnay 2017 Sourced from Tasmania, Tumbarumba and Adelaide Hills, 8 months in French oak (50% new). The blending must have taken weeks to finalise. Opens with a fanfare of aromas and flavours, and increases its impact through to the incredibly long finish and aftertaste. Best Yattarna yet. James Halliday Published 21 March 2022

Penfolds Yattarna Chardonnay. Bin 144. The Tasmania, Adelaide Hills and Tumbarumba regions all contributed grapes. 50% new French oak for eight months. The first vintage was from the 1995 vintage; we said it last year but, we sure have come a long way with Yattarna. Look at the pineapple characters. Look at the green, the yellow, the pulp and flesh of summer fruits. Look at the oak, the bran, the toast, that strike of flint. Cream strolls in and then disappears like a phantom visit to a party. It seems to close tighter as it breathes, unusually; it has any manner of tricks up its sleeves. Truth is that this is chardonnay in all its magnificence.
