The 1999 Art Series Chardonnay is creamy, soft and plush now. It’s pillowed and cushioned and spicy, the acidity fully entrenched in the yellow fruit. There are notes of preserved lemons and brine. This is definitely moving into the spiced marmalade, cumin, nutmeg, star anise, exotic space. To capture the fruit, you’d want to drink this in the next few years, but certainly the acidity/fruit/phenolics are not fragmenting in any way.

Brilliant, juicy and multilayered, brimming with apple, pear, tropical fruit, almond, mineral and spice flavors that swirl together on a muscular but lithe and seamless frame. The flavors last and last. Has depth, length and power without being at all bulky. Drink now through 2011. 3,000 cases made.??–HS??Region: Australia / Western Australia / Margaret River Select to Add

雖然這款葡萄酒從裝瓶到正式發(fā)布有一年的時間間隔，但是該酒還是非常年輕，需要更長時間的積淀才能擁有更加柔順的口感。該酒酒體豐滿，口感豐富但是略顯粗糙，帶有濃郁的桃子和烤面包風(fēng)味。此酒非常適合久藏。評分：90。
