Community Tasting Note

• bayareadodgerfan Likes this wine: 92 points

  February 3, 2022 - Really lovely wine. First time having a Margaret River wine. Pale lemon color. Pronounced aroma intensity - lemon, lime, apple, apricot and baking spices and hint of vanilla and oak. On palate med+ acidity and medium body. Beautiful citrus and stone fruit and vibrant baking spice on palate. Nice oak notes of vanilla and cream. This is really a very good wine - can’t wait to pop more bottles.

  The LEAS Chardonnay style has evolved a little over the past few vintages, however it is generally a wine that you can cellar with confidence. I recommend trying a few older vintages if you can track them down. 2006 and 2008 looking superb at the moment.
