Sourced from a cool-climate region, 2017 Penfolds Bin 311 Chardonnay 750ml is especially refreshing. An inviting fruity aroma alludes to subtle nougat and nutty notes with an intriguing hint of crushed stone. The palate is citrus-driven with soft acidity and a long finish. Pale colour. Intensely fresh white apricot, “fino” aromas with roasted nut, gun flint nuances. Well concentrated white apricot, peach, bitter lemon yeasty, cashew nut flavours, fine looseknit chalky al-dente textures, classic mid-palate suppleness and long crisp acidity. Minerally wine with attractive generosity of fruit and freshness. An early drinking style for aficionados with lovely varietal definition and tension. Andrew Caillard: 92 Points
