TN: Penfolds Yattarna 2008
Posted: Tue Jul 31, 2018 10:34 am
Fruit sourced from Tasmania and Adelaide Hills. 13.3% alc.
Colour: Light gold with green tinges
Nose: Strong citrus, lime as much as lemon, considerable vanillan oak with accompanying spiciness. There’s also some stonefruit, and honeydew melon.
Palate: White peach, a touch of apricot, white grapefruit. It’s crisp and refreshing, while also being mouth-filling. Good supporting acid leads to a medium / long finish.
This bottle showed a lot better than one opened about a year ago (both under screwcap), and appears youthful. Penfolds recommends drinking to 2020, anbd that should present no problem.
Cheers
Allan
