South River Vineyard

Leeuwin Estate

Art Series Margaret River Chardonnay 2019

Pale lemon in colour - crystal clear. Probably drinking this a little young even at 7 years of age. Initial funky notes amongst the nutty notes. At 7 years the oak is assimilating with the peach. Great intensity as you come to expect from the Art Series. At least another 5 plus years in the cellar would not be a problem. — 3 days ago

@Kapyrick Wine My first of 3. Will be interesting to see how the remaining 2 bottles develop over the next few years.

They will be fantastic. The true test will be your tolerance for aged chardonnay. Leeuwin is a great producer, and the Art Series wines are fantastic. I have only enjoyed at a 10 year max, because I was worried they would go bad, but they would have been good longer at my tolerance . Enjoy!!!!!!!!

@Kapyrick Wine I have been drinking this Cuvée for many years now and we often have tastings to judge the best Australian Chardonnay. Giaconda and Bindi Quartz block are also in the mix. A few months ago I had my last 2013 Art Series and it was stellar.

One Sixteen Russian River Valley Chardonnay 2022

Ming L
9.2

Aromas of fresh orchard fruit and ripe stone fruit, with pear and white peach at the forefront. Subtle ritual fruits as well. The palate shows more stone fruit richness with vanilla and hint of pie crust and seashell. Good acidic backbone. Clean lingering finish.

This is delicious and so easy to drink, but also quite sophisticated.

Bin 28 Kalimna Shiraz 2007

Even in an average vintage like 2007 the Bin 28 can still be showing well at 19 years of age. Blackberry and Penfolds Choc mocha. Some herb garden and liquorice. Will not improve but could carry on for a couple more years. — 3 months ago

Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2024

Light golden color. Aromas of tropical, citrus and stone fruits, fresh herbs and freshly cut grass. Flavors of grapefruit, passion fruit, green apple and melon and nectarines with a slight note of flint/crushed stones. Medium finish and vibrant acidity. Just a hint of RS. Medium-bodied and crisp. Crunchy texture. Crowd pleasing and reliable but not spectacular. Thanks for sharing, Ron B! — 20 days ago

Dark and brooding, with an intense quite savory palate with hints of mint, black pepper, and a touch of tar and well integrated oak. This has loads of character and good intensity. Excellent. — a month ago
