2010 Narkoojee Reserve Chardonnay
Winemaker Harry Friend continues to excel with his Chardonnay’s and since our initial tasting some 6 months ago this wine has ratched the quality level up a couple more notches.
Brilliant pale straw colour with slight greenish tinge around the edges and watery hue. Showing a touch more intensity than the Lily Grace the nose displays strong varietal character with lifted scents of white peach, toasty oak, lees and honeycomb followed by some nougat and spicy cashew. Mouthfilling, rich and creamy the palate boasts flavours of fleshy white peach, toasty oak, cashew, honeycombe, nougat and spice. Clean dry finish with a very creamy texture. Excellent depth with long aftertaste of white peach, toast, cashew, nougat, honeycomb and spice.
Drink over the next 3-4 years (2011-2015).
