  I rate this 92 given the excellent value at Sepia where paid $70/bottle. Very Burgundy like with excellent minerality. Bright white fruit flavors and nose.
  Recommend. I wish it was on more wine lists. I found the oak is now integrated.

  Very light straw color, opens with butter, oak, yeast, exotic fruits on the back. On the palate - pears and apples, good balance, medium plus finish. Lovely Chardonnay.

  (tasting@LeeuwinEstate) Light white floral nose, frangipani, oily yet clean, soft pears, some oak prominence. Fresh brioche, white bread, cashews and green pistachios, finishing with some lemon pith.
