Adelaide Hills, Mount Lofty Ranges, Adelaide, South Australia, AustraliaThis is a much better looking Yattarna than the 1995 and to some extent the '96. There's more mouth feel and fruit and more obvious lees character in this edition. It still straddles the leaner mineral, Burgundian side of chardonnay (a sort of Grand Cru Chablis with flavour) but it's starting to look like it's worth the money. Penfolds has much to celebrate here but they would be careful not to underestimate the heights to which chardonnay has risen in other parts of the world. Yattarna is very much a work in progress and we suspect there is much more to come.Tasted: 01 September 2000Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
