Leeuwin Estate Chardonnay Art Series, Margaret River, WA – 2004

This is quite simply one of the most perfect and memorable Chardonnays I have ever tasted!
The nose is developing some wonderful petrolly complexity now (which smells far better than it sounds!)
On the palate the wine is medium to full bodied, with the most amazingly silky texture. Fruits are still fresh – a mix of grapefruit, lime and tropical fruit flavours effortlessly combined with perfectly-integrated gentle oaky vanillins.
The length, always a feature of Leeuwin Estate Chardonnay, is long and full flavoured with a lingering fresh citrus finish.
The new French oak complements the fruit providing a wonderful balance of warm toasty flavours on the finish.
