2013 vintage - tasted blind against the current release Art Series (2012) - hard to seperate, apart from the oak being a little harsher in this wine - food for thought considering the $50+ price differential - these guys must have so much quality fruit that even the lesser wine is a stunner!

Strangely, this is the first time I can remember drinking this wine, having drunk so many vintages of the Art Series - whilst it has good fruit, I found the oak to be over-powering - probably unfairly tasted alongside the 05 AS!

JL Australian tasting 3/30/17. $34 not on list. Nose that's complex and balanced palate and very long acidic length. Excellent.

Still young, but can start to taste the buttery cream coming through

I'd definitely have this as an aperitif! Strong aromas, citrus, oak and cold butter. Nice acidity and long finish.

Very good Margaret River Chardy with honey smells & flavours - we just drank it with grilled mullet, home-made tomato salsa & crispy Barrett's ciabatta bread!!!! Try this wine - it's very good "value for money!"
Leeuwin Estate do it very well!
