| Tasted 26/5/03 at the Parkhill Cellars Penfolds Dinner at Matteo's - 5th wine served. Colour - very light straw, almost colourless. Nose - distinctly floral, but otherwise closed. Palate - very tight and focused, floral, with concentrate flavours of peaches, nectarines, bolstered by lemony acidity but balanced by creamy malo characteristics. Long finish. Markedly different from the 98 and 97 tasted earlier, but I like it best amongst the three Yattarna's tasted that night. (Note - the Yattarna is Penfold's flagship white white, the so called "White Grange". It is a chardonnay blended from multiple districts with a significant portion from the Adelaide Hills) |
