Background Story:
舊文兩條:
1. 到2005年三月中旬為止, Yellow Tail 黃尾袋鼠佔有外國葡萄酒對美國進口量第一名, 百分比為13.4%.
2. 黃尾袋鼠在日本竟然是 Sapporo 代理的, 看來 Yellow Tail 在日本應該也打下一片天地了才對.

Official Comment:
"A complex array of fragrant fruit aromas and luscious vanillan oak gives a wonderful first impression of the [yellow tail] Reserve Chardonnay. Peach, melon and tropical fruits are all in abundance, complimented by a creamy fullness given only by French Oak maturation. This flavoursome Chardonnay has a charming palate weight, with complex buttery undertones and soft balanced acidity. This wine has it all, finishing long and smooth...Being a complete wine, finishing with length and flavour, the Reserve Chardonnay can be enjoyed now or cellared for up to four years." - Website

Personal Comment:
Sight: Slightly light golden yellow. So many tiny bubbles standing around the bottom of the bottle.
Nose: Light toasty, and tropical aromas.
Taste: Silky, crisp, and sensitive citrus flavors. Medium dry and medium-bodied. Curvee style. Wonderful taste for me. Buy more if possible…..Cheers…
這款精選黃尾袋鼠的 Chardonnay 有著 Cuvee 般的風格, 為整體的品嚐感受更進一步地提升, 結論在此先述說, 那便是我非常地喜歡這款 Chardonnay 的展現方式, 也因此推薦給各位想要一嚐 Cuvee style 的 Chardonnay.
液身呈現淡而亮的金黃色, 許許多多細緻的氣泡們, 緊密地與杯身共舞, 香味在熱帶水果風情的席捲下, 或多或少地飄出煙燻味, 飲入時, 舌頭可以感覺到絲質般地滑膩, 與清新地柑橘味, 在輕微的澀度之後, 回甘的效應則是一湧而出, 層次的轉換接連不斷, 真是符合一瓶好的 Chardonnay 所應有的表現.
