Leeuwin Estate Art Series Margaret River Chardonnay 2017
96 points - limited Our favorite Chardonnay from "Down Under"! Any California Chardonnay fan will love Leeuwin's Art Series Chardonnay. Limited in production and not much is imported to the US so try it while its still available. 96 Points Wine Spectator *Highly Recommended*: "The Leeuwin 2017 Art Series Chardonnay opens rich and lush, with grilled pineapple, ripe pear and fleshy apricot flavors. Details of mineral, lime peel and Meyer lemon add a fresh thread of acidity and a sense of precision, finishing with a note of sesame seed. Drink now through 2030. 800 cases imported."

Medium lemon with aromas of stone fruits, spice, floral and citrus from a cool vintage. On the palate flavors of apple, pear & apricot with some lemon citrus zest, honeysuckle and nutty notes. Smooth, long finish, well balanced with lively acidity, ending with fruit, integrated and wet stone mineral character. Nice!

Wow. I’m speechless. Comes charging out of the gates and doesn't let up. Melange of tropical fruit as well as cool climate fruit on the nose, exotic yet essential. Palate is so poised, beautifully balanced, with an amazing line of acid. Oak is elegantly woven through. Precise sweetness and tartness drill into your palate. Remarkable juice!

Shimmering straw-yellow. Vibrant, mineral-accented aromas of white peach, pear, honeydew melon and Meyer lemon, along with a bright floral overtone. Juicy and densely packed, conveying a suave blend of richness and vivacity to the mineral-drenched citrus and orchard fruit and floral flavors. Takes on smoky lees, sweet butter and iodine notes with air and shows superb clarity on the strikingly long finish, which echoes the mineral and floral notes. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, July 2021)

Fine and pure expression of Margaret River Chardonnay. Arguably one of Australia’s best known Chardonnays

Wonderfully complex, showing new aromas every time you put your nose in it. Unripe banana, Asian pear, peaches, grapefruit, Meyer lemon, fresh-cut pineapple, cream, vanilla, caramel, sea spray, cardamom, and cinnamon. Lovely finish. Less funky than the Suckfizzle.

I opened the bottle and had a taste right away and it tasted weird. But after letting it breath for a while it was great.
