Bass Phillip Premium Old Vines Chardonnay 2022

Bright medium yellow colour, quite full for its youth, the bouquet very complex and layered with buttery croissant, honey and nougat aromas, vanilla/praline in the background, all of which translate superbly to the full-bodied and powerful palate. Lemon/grapefruit and lime are all present in the delicious mix of fruit and acidity, the middle and finish high-energy and exciting, and loaded with promise. It’s superb now and will only improve in the short to medium term. Outstanding chardonnay. Drink date: 2024-2037. (Huon Hooke,therealreview.com,Dec. 22 2023)
