  Qatar Airways IAD - DOH business class. Excellently made Chardonnay, with hints of fragrant fruit and great balance. Very fine peach and nuts.

  Significantly better than previous bottle. Nice balance of lemon citrus and oak spice.

  Drank at bbq so a caveat that tasting conditions weren't ideal, this was disappointing though as it seemed surprisingly forward-matured with the acidity seeming rather flat. Flavourwise - default Chardonnay with some stonefruit and citrus and a bit of oak spice. Not bad but this is definitely sub-par if paying full RRP.
  Aging is something every Penfolds wine normally does well but I think this may already be in decline, will need to retaste in better conditions though.

  Très bon Chardonnay, produit de Tasmanie, 9 mois en fût de chêne, nez sur les fruits verts et pain cuit.
  Notes de conversion malolactique de pain, notes de beurre du chêne, belle acidité et trame minérale, fruits verts et jaunes, granny smith et poire jaune. Très agréable. Dégusté sur place chez Penfolds La Grande. $50/bouteille

  Medium lemon.
  Lime, Nuts on the nose.
  Citrus, vanilla palate.
  Tasted quite Sauvignon blancish for a Chardonnay!!
  Quite pleasant wine, I will be interested to see how it evolves.
