Leung Estate

Leung Estate Ma Maison Chardonnay 2015 Martinborough 
Vibrant and precise bouquet with a full and rounded texture suggesting cream and butter then aromas of freshly picked peach and stone fruits, some red apple then oak tones of vanilla and spice. On the palate - firm, youthful, rounded and dry, layers of oak spice and lush orchard fruits, medium+ acidity and lengthy finish, balanced and well made with a decent lengthy finish.

Leung Estate Ma Maison Pinot Noir 2015 Martinborough
Loads of primary red berry fruit in the bouquet with freshly crushed raspberry and red cherry, even a sweet red beet note then cinnamon and brown spices of oak, youthful fleshy and new. On the palate - dry, fruity and reflective of the boquuet with juicy cherry and other red fruits, medium+ acidity, fine to moderate tannins - well in balance with the rest of the palate, the finishes as it begins with some decent length. Decant for service - otherwise cellar through the end of 2018 and taste again.

Leung Estate Ma Maison Pinot Noir 'Cuvee Two Richards' 2014 Martinborough
An engaging bouquet with aroma sof spice, toast, barrel, red fruits and a little bottle aged harmonising; quite complex and  definitely intriguing. On the palate - delicious! I do like the way in which the oak and fruit talk, medium+ tannins with a fine texture from the fruit and youthful almost bold voice from the oak, medium+ acidity adds poise and length; balanced and well made with a lengthy and ngaging finish.
