2008 Yattarna
From magnum. Pale lemon yellow colour, less than 5% opaque. Made exclusively from Chardonnay fruit grown in the Derwent Valley in Tasmania. Slight petrol on the nose. Slightly flabby palate but lots of tropical fruit, melons and pineapple. Lovely apple juice on the finish. Good length. This will develop and improve. 87/100. Drunk 27-Mar-15.
Top Ports in 2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.
2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!
