Alkoomi Black Label Chardonnay 2012
Honest, ripe and flavoursome, this sweetly fruited and handsomely oaked chardonnay has an intense, spicy bouquet of peach, pineapple and mango backed by vanilla, clove and lemony oak-derived influences. ItÕs smooth and creamy, almost viscous in texture, with a pleasing length and depth of fruit knit with creamy, meaty complexity and finishing with a spicy acidity. Just lacks the poise and balance for a higher rating.

Winery
Alkoomi
Alkoomi was one of the founding vineyards of the Great Southern region. Located in the northern Frankland River sub region, its recent vintages are returning to the style and structure upon which they developed their reputation. Leading the current releases are the Melaleuca Riesling from 2016 (95/100, drink 2028-2036), a wine of classical perfume, purity and longevity, plus the elegant and restrained Blackbutt blend of red Bordeaux varieties from 2010.
