Mount Majura Chardonnay 2003

Bright yellow in the glass, looking decidely advanced for a 2003 from a cool region. A little vintage research reveals 2003 to be a early vintage for Canberra. Ripe nose with some oaky and peachy notes. Ok.Again quite ripe in the mouth. Oak notes settle as the upfront fruit kicks in. Probably borders on the tropical fruit style with some heat and acid kick at the back. Certainly well elegant and complex than the excellent 2002 but nevertheless shows appeal in the $20 market as a competent drink now style. Won't blow you away but good enough.
