Tasting Notes - Montalto Pennon Hill Chardonnay 2005

A second label of sorts for well regarded chardonnay marker Montalto. At first glance this wine came across as a real tart - big lifted ripe fruits, some oak, grilled nuts, a sweet kick on the finish. However some appeal was lost over time as the flavour profile got progressively simple (er more simple I mean!) and I sense the wine structure didn't really hold up to the initial rush of heady tastes. Still, nice enough.
