Grilled banana and crushed nuts, white beach sand and brine dominate the aromatics of this 2023 Bin 311 Chardonnay. On the palate, the wine is complex and creamy, with a citrus line of acid that cuts through the almost opulent fruit in the mouth. It doesn't quite get to melons and cumquat, but it nudges those riper ideas. There's an opulence and width to this release, yet the acidity keeps it on track. The wine matured for eight months in French barriques (21% new). Drink Date: 2024 - 2034
