Tasting- Black Swan Chardonnay 2010

Name: Black Swan 2010
Variety: Chardonnay
Region: Australia (South Eastern)
Price: $10 for a mega bottle
Garnet Wines & Liquors review: Fresh peach, citrus and melon flavors with a hint of vanilla. Refreshingly unexpected next to chicken, pasta, seafood and light cheeses.

My Review: Ok, so when trying to find a review for this I found that a lot of people did not like this, but I on the other hand didn't think it was that bad! Seeing as how I was expecting and looking for Yellowtail Chardonnay Reserve and settled for this, it was a great substitute. The smell was tropical and pineapple which was awesome for being at the beach and riding around in a golf cart all day sucking this stuff down from a sippy bottle. And especially by the pool too. However, it did kind of have a finishing funk on the nose of something along the lines of pee, so I kept the lid on so I didn't have to smell it. The taste was a little dryer than my taste and slightly acidic which was good, and had notes of definite pear. I thought it was so good I drank most of the mega bottle by myself in one afternoon, so drinkability on this one is really good!
