Mountadam Five-Fifty Chardonnay 2020 Size:750 ml bottleA big and bold Australian chardonnay that reminds me of the better wines from the early 1990s. Almost chunky tannins, but also crunchy citric freshness that enables it to carry this generous stature. Quite robust at the finish. Drink or hold. Score 92. (jamessuckling. com, Nov. 7, 2022)
