2015 Chardonnay Yattarna

Brilliant, straw-yellow. A heady, sharply detailed bouquet evokes fresh honeydew melon, Meyer lemon, pear nectar and toasted brioche, with iodine and smoky mineral qualities emerging as the wine opens up. Juicy and expansive on the palate, offering densely packed yet nervy orchard and citrus fruit and buttered toast flavors and a subtle touch of poached pear. Shows noteworthy energy and mineral cut on the penetrating finish, which features a suave floral quality and a hint of oyster shell.

The 2015 Chardonnay Yattarna has a lot of puppy fat on the nose at this youthful stage, showing exuberant notes of baked peaches, apple pie, guava and pineapple paste over yeasty/savory notions and a waft of crushed stones. The palate is typically tightly wound, revealing great tension and minerality, yet it also has a lot of fruit and and a lovely silken texture, finishing long and invigorating. Forget it for two to three years and drink it over the next 10+.
