2021 Oakridge Chardonnay 864 Funder's Drive, Single Block Release

Highest pointed Chardonnay and swept all before it at the major wine awards. Yes it’s good but…. If I’m looking for a technically perfect wine then I have it right here but…. Where’s the character? The soul? I think it’s a bit like the Tin Man lacking in heart. Enjoyable for sure but It’s so clinical it’s almost bordering on being boring. This maybe unfair but it’s very much a plain Jane. Let me look at other Australian Chardonnay this may be the best we can do. According to the experts it is.

Much hyped on the back of, no doubt, some Halliday back slapping this is just a fairly plain wine. Massively priced in a fancy heavy bottle but it’s the emperor’s new clothes..

2020 Domaine Leflaive Pouilly-Fuissé

Had this alongside the Macon Verze from the same vintage. First impression, very rich almost oily like viscosity with a drying phenolic like grip which I didn’t really like at first. As the wine opened up and my tastebuds adjusted the wine became fresher and less dense. Not much experience with Pouilly-Fuisse and by the end this bottle was really singing. Just had the edge over the Macon. Both are great and well….. I guess $150 isn’t cheap for Pouilly-Fuisse but from this producer I would say justifiable.
