but it’s still a singular expression of Grenache that could come from nowhere else

the 2005 Chateauneuf du Pape Les Origines is one of the vintage’s great successes

Leeuwin Estate Art Series Chardonnay - 2018 (750ml) Mendoza but it’s still a singularLeeuwin's top Chardonnay is set for the long haul. Currently fairly tightly wound, melon, marzipan and flint notes peek through the cracks. There's a lovely crunch of acidity, textural weight and depth on the medium weight palate, brightened by a tang of citrus and stone fruit. Elegant with a saline finish, this should age with grace for another decade (2032) or more. #57 Enthusiast 100 2022 Wine Enthusiast 94 points
