2020 Leeuwin Estate Chardonnay Art Series
Community Tasting Note
eschaefer Likes this wine:
96 Points
Tuesday, April 23, 2024 - I didn’t believe it till I tasted it. Blinded you would think Le Montrachet. Green golden straw colored. Perfect coloring. Medium to full bodied and RICH. Stone fruits, oily white flowers and rocky minerality on the nose. Acacia, sweet white peach and flint on the palate. OMG this wine is soooo good. The only limiting factor for 97-98 for me was a little bit acidic and thin on the finish. But that’s just me. Smarter people than me ranked this 98+ and i totally get it. Highly recommended. What a treat. Cheers

I noticed that you live in St. Louis. I lived in St. Louis from 1981 until 1995 while I worked for Monsanto - now retired in Henderson, NV. Cheers!
