2021 Penfolds Yattarna Chardonnay Magnum 1.5L

100 Points - Andrew Caillard MW, Andrew Caillard MW

“Beautifully concentrated chardonnay with superb pure grapefruit, lime, stone fruit flavours, fine lacy textures, impressive mid-palate generosity, underlying marzipan, vanilla notes and fresh flinty complexity. Finishes minerally and long. Electrifying wine with wonderful volume, fruit definition, weight, complexity and energy. Highlights a marvellous vintage and years of improving the style.”

98 Points - Erin Larkin, Wine Advocate

“The 2021 Yattarna Chardonnay feels inchoate right now, yet it is profoundly promising. It is tight and precise, coiled and fine, shaped by finely milled phenolics through the finish. The acidity courses across the finish and propels the fruit and the phenolics in tandem. It is quiet for now but has a glittery future ahead. This is a superstar.”

98 Points - Ken Gargett, World of Fine Wine

“I can't recall a better Yattarna than this one, going all the way back to the initial 1995. Sure, it has the advantage of hailing from a great vintage, but the team has not missed a beat here. Everything in its place. An immaculate Chardonnay, simply world-class. A very pale lemon color, this is a beautifully elegant Chardonnay, wonderfully refined. Pristine, exquisitely structured, impeccable balance and finesse. Such a gorgeous texture, so seductive. Juicy acidity and incredible length, with complexity already emerging.”
