The 2005 Leeuwin Estate 'Art Series' Chardonnay from Margaret River, Australia has earned 97 points from James Halliday (Halliday Wine Companion), 95 points from Wine Spectator and 94 points from Joe Czerwinski (Wine Advocate).
Awesome power, grace, depth and finesse; pure grapefruit, nectarine and peach flesh aromas are framed by complex, toasty, grilled nuts; the palate is amazingly concentrated, yet portrays a lightness that is completely beguiling and incredibly long. - James Halliday, Halliday Wine Companion (97 pts)
Critic Reviews
97 Points - James Halliday, Halliday Wine Companion
“Awesome power, grace, depth and finesse; pure grapefruit, nectarine and peach flesh aromas are framed by complex, toasty, grilled nuts; the palate is amazingly concentrated, yet portrays a lightness that is completely beguiling and incredibly long.”
95 Points - Wine Spectator
“Round, generous and amazingly fresh, with a juicy hint of grapefruit playing against spicy pear, green guava and mint aromas and flavors that expand and persist onto the long, expressive finish. This just doesn't quit, remaining exquisitely balanced. Drink now through 2017. 500 cases imported.”
94 Points - Joe Czerwinski, Wine Advocate
“Perhaps just starting to show its age, the 2005 Art Series Chardonnay is a smoky, toasty beauty, overflowing with grilled peaches and almost meaty, mocha notes. Full-bodied, fleshy and opulent, it's a terrific example of unabashedly New World Chardonnay. Drink it up over the next several years.”
94 Points - James Suckling
“Bold and rich with peaches and melon, as well as some hazelnut elements, apricots and orange citrus. Really fresh at 12 years. The palate has immense strength and depth. Has hints of honey across orange juice and glazed peaches, too. Smooth and gently nutty. Drink now.”
