Penfolds Bin 311 Chardonnay 2020

Very pale straw with lime green hues. Aromas of fleshy white peach, lemon verbena, a pithy citrus lift and a spray of spring blossom. A mascarpone creaminess and scents of emulsified toasted cashew and almond nougat. Subtle flint, wet stone and sea spray. Aromatically relaxed- character and style. Complex. Very fine on the palate, enchantingly endowed with an elegant, ethereal lightness. Yet the fruits are 'intense' - white peach and nectarine immediately jump the queue. Textbook aligned geological and cool-climate descriptors - limestone, chalky/talcy minerality, saline(y), quartz. Mouth-watering; avec linearity and persistence. Surprisingly, oak hasn't been mentioned...
