2015 Scorpo Eocene Chardonnay, Mornington Peninsula

When you combine fruit power with this kind of complexity, and add finesse to the equation, then you go straight into the elite class. This drives home its case with flavours of peach, nougat, flint and a variety of barrel-worked complexities. One sip and you feel caught in its headlights; there's so much going on, it’s hard not to become fixated.
