Penfolds 2022 Reserve Bin A Chardonnay 750ml

The 2022 Reserve Bin A Chardonnay is saturated with salted yellow fruits in the mouth. There are notes of saffron and cumin, fresh shaved cardamon and cinnamon bark, with scratched citrus peel and brine. A beautiful wine, it is distinct and flinty, curvaceous and yet taut. It spools effortlessly through the long finish. This is super. 12.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.
