Tasting: Thorn-Clarke Chardonnay
Thorn-Clarke Mount Crawford Barossa Winemaker other citr Eden Valley Australia $15 Winery Review: Brilliant yellow. Dried pear, lemon zest, honeysuckle and a hint of vanilla on the fragrant nose. Fleshy and smooth on the palate, offering fresh melon, pear nectar and tangerine flavors and a hint of bitter quinine that adds back-end cut. Closes on a subtle leesy note, showing very good energy and lingering citrus character. My Review: I did not really like this wine. The wine had pretty medium amounts of tannin and I agree that is was a quite refreshing wine, but I think that the bitterness from the tangerine and the other citrus notes, distracted me from enjoying it. I tried this wine by itself.
