Leeuwin Estate, Art Series, Chardonnay 2004 Magnum (1500ml)
93 Points. "The 2004 Chardonnay "Art Series" was aged for 18 months in 100% new oak with no malolactic fermentation. It offers a classic Puligny aromatic profile of mineral, butterscotch, white peach, spiced apple, and poached pear. This leads to a streamlined Chardonnay with its oak totally integrated, ripe, elegant flavors, outstanding depth and concentration, and a long, pure finish. It will evolve for 2-3 years and drink well for up to a decade as a recent taste of the 1987 (92 points) demonstrates." Wine Advocate # 173,Oct 2007

“I'm often asked how the latest Leeuwin stacks up against previous greats. Well, let's put it this way;I have always rated the '95 as the greatest, just a smidge ahead of the '87 with maybe the '01 a close-run third. But after tasting the '05, I have to say that time may well prove it to be the greatest Leeuwin Chardonnay yet. Here is elegance, power, finesse and complexity rolled into a wine with all the texture, palate feel, flavour and presence of the greatest chardonnays in the world. There are many Aussie and French chardonnays selling for a lot more, so this is a steal. If you have even a passing interest in Chardonnay, this is a must buy."

Elegant, refined, almost delicate at first, then the flavors kick in, sending in wave upon wave of melon, quince, citrus and a wee touch of hazelnut. The flavors persist against judicious acidity. Drink now through 2012. 200 cases made
