Drunk review 4: I like this. Notes of black pepper, dry, earthy metals, medium body- not heavy, but not too light. Fall-like wine. I would pair this while petting a Labrador Retriever. — 5 years ago

Beautiful color. Dark berries and vanilla on the nose. Oaky. Well balanced. Very smooth. Seemed like optimal time to be drunk starts now. Wish I had another bottle. — 8 years ago

Outstanding. Very fresh and minerally. Not normally a big Cristal fan but this was exceptional. Better than a 90 Krug recently drunk — 10 years ago

Initially backwards and sharp-edged after 90 mins and a warmup from cellar temp this was singing. Classic Sangiovese, sour cherry and dark chocolate. Asphalt. Elegant and feminine. The 15% Cabernets were nowhere to be seen, almost disappeared tannins suggest this should be drunk up soon, which is hardly punishment... — 6 years ago

What a delight! Herbaceous with hints of manure at first, then giving way to sweet and sour cherries. Fine acidity, drunk too young. Lord it went down quick — 7 years ago

Interesting. Brioche, oxidative, apple, lush and surprisingly sweet - or at least what feels like RS. More integrated day 2. Penguin. — 7 years ago

Fuller and peachier than the Oregon wine with a little of that dried pear character which is a trademark of the Art Series. Obviously from a warmer Vineyard - riper and luscious. Judicious use of French Oak. I have drunk quite a few Leeuwin Art Series Chardonnays over the years and this is typical of the style showing a little more restraint than usual. This is not about which is the better Chardonnay as they are both very good (96 points for each). It is about style preference. I slightly prefer the Art Series. — 8 years ago

Deep crimson. More berry characters than herbal. Trace of Vanillan Oak. Not typically Cabernet - no Bay Leaf, no Tomato Bush and very little Mint. That mint often an indicator that this Cab is from Coonawarra not Margaret River. Fine supple yet persistent tannins which means it can be drunk now or cellared for a further 15 years. Excellent QPR at only $25.95AUD. — 7 years ago
