This Chardonnay from the cool Mornington Peninsula starts off a bit rough and oaky—the predominant aromas are of smoke and toast—but comes together much better on the palate, where its substantial ripe peach flavors take charge, accented by bacony notes. Definitely not for fans of restraint, but this concentrated wine is authoritatively flavored and intense. Drink now–2012.
