An impeccably balanced Chardonnay but today the wine's fruit is quite restrained

(from 20 to 25 year old vines)

with only ex-Tertre Daugay fruit used

as it can be unforgiving upon release

ripe tannins

Penfolds, Bin 407 Cabernet Sauvignon other_regions_australia An impeccably balanced Chardonnay butYouthful purple color. Displays pungent aromas of dried cherry, blackcurrant, licorice and mocha, with a smoky nuance gaining strength with aeration. Taut and refreshingly bitter on entry, offering spice accented dark fruit flavors and a touch of dark chocolate. The cherry and licorice qualities carry through the finish, which is firmed by youthfully chewy tannins and tangy acidity. Josh Raynolds
