Flight 1 (2 Notes)

  • 2007 Leeuwin Estate Chardonnay Art Series 91 Points

    Australia, Western Australia, South West Australia, Margaret River

    Light very pale white/ gold. New world aromas. Smells like a Kistler? Tropical, fully body, chiseled butter. Oak. Then lessens and smooths and gets longer. Impressive fruit and long finish albeit with a bit of cartoonish heat.

  • 2010 Kumeu River Chardonnay Maté's Vineyard 91 Points

    New Zealand, North Island, Auckland, Kumeu

    Golden. Nice terrior. Long, very smooth. Mineral. Lean. Very interesting. Many prefered the Art Series, but this was more refreshing to me, and about the same overall quality

Flight 3 (2 Notes)

  • 1998 Penfolds Grange 97 Points

    Australia, South Australia

    Open and decanted 4 hours before dinner.

    Gorgeous inky. Aromas of menthol plus blue and black fruits. Baker's chocolate, coffee, toffee, black pepper. So smooth and harmonious. Would not guess shiraz blind. More like northern Rhone. Sappy, pasty clay on its very long finish. This is a beauty. The group WOTN.

    Thanks Jason!

  • 2001 Torbreck RunRig 95 Points

    Australia, South Australia, Barossa, Barossa Valley

    Inky and not showing much age. Showing some nutty aromas (macadamia). Sleek, smooth, plums, black fruit, and an incredibly long, 1 min + finish. Very concentrated. A few noted something green/ stemmy, but all liked it. Our #2 overall.
