Leeuwin Estate Art Series Chardonnay

The nose is energetic & precise with remarkable clarity and purity. Lime, lemon pith, grapefruit and pear are the hallmark fruits present. Delicate notes of jasmine, cardamom pod, flint, wet stone, blanched almonds and rice wafer give subtle complexity in the background. The shape and frame of the palate is the highlight; volume, combined with length and a mineral acid line threaded in between. Grapefruit, pear and lemon are set in the foreground amongst nougat, brioche, cinnamon and graphite. Wine with incredible poise and presence, with a long life ahead.         https://youtu.be/mgdztnHrV0Q
