Pale lemon color with aromas of tropical and stone fruit with citrus notes. On the palate flavors of peaches and apple with melon and lemon citrus, lively acidity with notes of vanilla. Medium finish ending with citrus fruit and oaky mineral character. Nice, tasting well now.

Jul 28th, 2021The silver packaging wrap they put it in is just awful as opening is not an easy task. Pale lemon color with aromas of tropical and stone fruit with citrus notes. On the palate flavors of peaches and ripe apple with melon and lemon juice, lively acidity with notes of vanilla oak. Medium+ finish ending with citrus fruit and oaky mineral character. Nice, even better if they just dropped the silver packaging.

Jan 2nd, 2021Wonderful Chard from down under - sharp, creamy with a slight citrus twang at the finish. I did not realize Penfolds even made a chard, and glad I picked this up. Excellent standard chard notes on the nose, great mouth feel all around. Great glass!
