Penfolds Bin 311 Chardonnay 2023

61/26/13& Tasmania/Tumbarumba/Adelaide Hills; eight months in 21% new French oak. A nicely composed, multi-regional chardonnay release. Plenty of concentration – no doubt the lower-yielding Tasmanian component playing its part. Peach and fleshy nectarine with dabs of oatmeal, soft spice, gentle oak, nougat and white flowers. Clotted cream, grilled nuts and grapefruit pith aspects come through on the palate, finishing long and true. Drink from: 2024. Drink by: 2032. (Dave Brookes,winecompanion.com.au,July 18, 2024)
