Jacob's Creek Chardonnay 2005

Variety: 100% Chardonnay
Country of origin: Australia
Wine appellation: South Eastern Australia
Vintage: 2005
Alcohol content: 12.5%
Color: straw yellow
Bouquet: ripe tropical fruit, pineapple, almost invisible hint of oak
Taste: medium body, round, canned pineapple, predominantly fruity with small hint of oak, which is nicely integrated, medium finish
Recommended food pairing: turkey
Overall score: 4+7+12+5+7+50=85
Price: CZK 199

3rd bottle of this wine tasted. It is very interesting how the wine developed, see my notes from more than 2 years ago in January 2010, where you can find the pics. Maybe Jacobs creek needs time to age and show the potential. Overall nicely done Chard, oak is just slight to round it.
