Anything but Port, this includes all wines other than fortified wines (which have their own section) even if they call themselves Port. There is a search facility for this part of the forum.

2008 Yattarna

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

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 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.
