Blue Tongue 2002 Chardonnay (South Eastern Australia)

Best Buy

Price $7

Though it’s 100% Chardonnay, this wine doesn’t taste particularly Chard-like: it has light floral and stone fruit notes more akin to a Riesling. It’s a lightweight in the mouth, rounded out by a little creaminess. A decent, economical choice to quaff on a hot day. — D.T. (8/1/2003)

Price $7

Easy to drink, and a sweet tooth’s dream: maple syrup on the nose, with sweet raspberries and blackberries on the palate. Finishes with an interesting carob-mocha combination. — D.T. (1/1/2002)

Blue Tongue 2004 Chardonnay (South Eastern Australia)

Price $10

Getting past the nose, with black pepper, pickle and lactic aromas, takes some doing; but once you do, the flavors are fine. White stone fruit dominates, couched in a puffy, soft feel. Finishes with a lemon meringue note. Imported by Importicos Inc. — D.T. (8/1/2006)

Price $9

Roasted, sandy aromas set the wine off on a shaky start, but the palate delivers plum and mealy apple flavors that compensate. Medium sized, with an even texture. — D.T. (6/1/2006)
