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
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

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

The same 80/20 blend of the 2 Nerellos. Floral red fruits. 18 months in 500 litre used French Oak. Ungrafted vines planted in 1912 which we inspected. Could be drunk now as it is barely medium bodied but should be cellared. Very savoury. Enjoyed it and bought 6. — 8 years ago
Very very nice, easy and light! Definite repeat — 9 years ago
