Penfolds
Bin 311 Tumbarumba Chardonnay
Tumbarumba, Southern New South Wales, New South Wales, Australia
More nutty (cashew) than fruit driven on the nose. A delicate light to medium weight palate - some grapefruit notes. A great example of cool climate Chardonnay with fruit from Tumbarumba. Later vintages of Bin 311 now include fruit from other renowned cool climate districts like the Adelaide Hills and Tasmania. A class act. Tasted another bottle 34 weeks later on 12th March 2022 with similar notes. Ripe grapefruit - an excellent Chardonnay. Had my last 2015 on 2nd February 2023 with consistent notes as above.

1 person found it helpfulJul 17th, 2021At the annual Penfolds release. Penfolds whites particularly their Chardonnays have been improving each year. The Bin 311 at $41 is very good value behind its big name siblings Bin A and Yattarna. Lovely stone fruit aromas with leesy nuances and well balanced French Oak. Cellar to 5+ years.

Light yet balanced with slight vanilla, lemon orange hints.

Can be too mineral for my taste. Probably opened too soon. Penfolds 'cheaper' wines tend to be so-so wines.
