Hardy's Eileen Hardy Chardonnay 1995

South Australia, AustraliaPadthaway, Yarra Valley and Adelaide Hills fruit make up the '95 Eileen. Look for a bright yellow color. A big, toasted oak nose completely dominates the fruit at this stage. Big structure and styling, but fairly dry finish. It will require time to pull itself together. Complex but with a bitterness in the finish that needs to disappear. Less fine than the highly attractive '94 effort.Tasted: 01 September 1996Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
