Light yellow color in the glass, clear looking throughout. Nose of nutmeg, caramel, mixed yellow fruit and wet stones. Flavors of green apples, yellow pears and a lemon spritz on the finish. Medium acidity, full bodied. Drink or hold.

Popped and poured. Oak and a bit of heat on the nose. Lots of oak and good fruit on the palate. I can not imagine what this was like 10 years ago. If I has another bottle, I would put it in the back of the cellar for 10 more years and hope the fruit lives long enough for the oak to integrate nad balance the wine. Very good now if one enjoys this style of wine.

Popped and poured. Remarkable wine. I bought this in a duty free shop on release and to be honest not sure it was perfectly stored all these years. That said it’s drinking perfectly. Lovely creamy nose. The wine is remarkably youthful with lip smacking acidity. White peach, apples, minerals and a little brioche.

(Leeuwin Estate Chardonnay Art Series, Margaret River) Brassy with green highlights, the current release offers aromas of mango, white peach, red-apple skin, caramel, and butterscotch, backed by a stony minerality. A creamy, full-textured palate brings in delicious spice notes. The long finish is balanced by juicy acidity. Winery Spotlight: Leeuwin Estate

A Celebration of Jose; 5/19/2022-5/21/2022 (Madison, WI): Very prominent toasted oak and butterscotch, otherwise nicely balanced with good weight.
