Chardonnay January 21, 2016
1986 Heemskerk Chardonnay
Wine Rating
 
87
Tasmanian Chardonnay is built to last, even so it was pushing it when this was opened just short of it’s 30th Birthday ! It may have seen better days, however it was surprisingly complete and lively and further underwrites the ability for wines from the region to age.

A golden hue in the glass, the nose has milky baked peach, coconut and fig. The palate has surprisingly maintained much of it’s former svelte figure with a citrus kick against ripe peach and a touch of marzipan coming through. The finish has a touch of flint if you look really hard but is becoming a little broad and cloying when compared to the wines other components.
