2019 Penfolds Bin 144 Yattarna Chardonnay | 98 Points
IWC Australian Cross Regional Chardonnay Trophy 2021
98 points, Tyson Stelzer, The Wine Companion
The tension, endurance and sheer, molecular detail of Yattarna propels it to the pinnacle of Australia’s pointy chardonnay pyramid, and the 2019 follows confidently in the hallowed footsteps of the sublime 2018. This is a vintage that demands a great deal of time to unfurl. Tight, compact, focused and immensely determined, it leads out in its virile youth with the finest struck flint and gunpowder. Powder-fine, crystalline minerality surges long and strong. Another epic Yattarna.

Generously proportioned, refined and beautifully integrated with all the hallmarks of a Grand Cru-type Chardonnay. A fantastic experience for Burgundy freaks and those who aspire to surf the perfect reductive wave.
97 points, David Sly, Decanter
The introduction of a flinty spark to the nose shows that Yattarna has moved again in style, now standing proudly like a more rarefied, polished version of the impressive Reserve Bin A model. It allows the pristine fruit to speak in nuanced tones, its airy dance of lemon, mandarin and grapefruit notes swooping into a darker, sterner mid-palate, where delicate oak frames pristine white nectarine and adds just enough savoury bite.
