Pierro Chardonnay 2006

Margaret River, Western Australia. Chardonnay. 13.5%. Approx $A60. Screwcap.

All a man needs is a preoccupation, preferably involving classification.

This is familiar and comforting and certainly one of the best examples you will find from Margaret River. Edged with lemon and juicy acidity this is still plump, creamy and butterscotch flavoured before a gripping nutty finish which is tinged with the prickle of fresh pineapple.

Very good - excellent.
