Tasting Notes - Lenton Brae Chardonnay 2002 (Recommended)

Pale gold in the glass, looks about right for a 2 year old. Very powerful, ripe, penetrating nose - almost intimidating. Heaps of sweet peachy fruit lift. A little more subdued in the palate. A bit hot and is quite ripe and powerful. Good structure and nice wine making touches although this is essentially a fruit driven wine. A bit of burn at the finish (no surprise). This one might be a fraction young right now and I reckon it would be interesting to have another look in late 2006.
