Leeuwin Estate
Art Series Margaret River Chardonnay
Margaret River, South West Australia, Western Australia, Australia
Another Aussie stunner cutting through the mediocrity in the marketplace today. In our minds, this wine needs at least 4 years of bottle age to reveal its true colors, then look out.
Reminds us of a French GC with piercing focus, presence and linearity. Top shelf stuff.

Not ready for prime-time just yet, but that didn’t prevent us from committing the felony.
Pale straw color in the glass links up with lemon curd and a hint of gooseberries. Robust acidity frames this up nicely. Finishes taught and with urgency. Drinking the best wines in the world can be a little like fumbling around in the dark. But with this, I can see in the dark.

Great wine, probably past its prime time, but still aromatic, well balanced with lime notes.

WotN. Compressed flavors reveal slowly, and pleasantly for the attentive.

Closed and shy at the moment. Everything on 1 but all the hallmarks are there. The pear and cut lime, and pineapple twist that says Leeuwin/gingin.
