2018 Penfolds Max’s Chardonnay Adelaide Hills
2018 Penfolds Max’s Chardonnay Adelaide Hills Color : Light straw.
Nose : Subtle stone fruits yellow peach nectarine and faint wafts of citrus are foremost. Upon further swirling hints of floral notes shine through Jasmine and white rose petal perfume and a touch of Ginger spice. Oak is present but in balance and offering a nutty/ nougat nuance.
Palate : Fresh flavours of stone fruit citrus and grapefruit pith. Creamy creme brulee-like French oak lingers with a lovely flinty wet stone/chalky acid line closing out with an intriguing waxy phenolic finish.
