There is no doubt that Tasmania can deliver top shelf Chardonnay. Is the 2021 Frogmore Creek Chardonnay in the same league as Tolpuddle, Penfolds and a couple of others?
Floral notes will start you off, followed by pineapple and white peach. There is good purity of the fruit. The oak, through vanilla and nutty flavours, is quite present. The wine is a little sweet, which I did not find appealing, but might suit some. The wine has medium length and low acidity. This should be drunk young.
Clearly, this wine is not top shelf, but the attractive pricing reflects this.
Score: 89/0

Sorry the core is 89 out of 100?
Yes, it is 89 out of 100, but the zero is not a typo. The score behind / expresses how I like a wine, from +++ to —- with 0 being indifferent, while the first score is more of an objective score, through my lens. A paragraph on the right side of my blog explains this more fully.
