Robert Parker (RP) : 91+ Points (2017)

The 2017 Leeu Passant Elandskloof Chardonnay displays a rich and classic Chardonnay expression on the nose, leading to focused, medium-bodied palate, with the same minerality and focus as the 2016 bottling of the same range. There are oak-related notes of vanilla and almond butter, along with fruit tones of spiced apples and lemon curd. It has an acid-driven mid-palate with a clean core and rich mineral texture, ending with an energetic, long, tensioned finis. This wine possesses the ability to age gracefully for years to come.

Decanter (DCT) : 94 Points (2016)

This is the second vintage from Chris and Andrea Mullineux's Franschhoek estate, in partnership with businessman Analjit Singh. Chardonnay grapes grown in the loam rich soils of the Helderberg Mountain are vinified then matured in French oak barrels, 30% new. It has a rich and complex nose of tropical fruit, vinyl, nut, honey and a hint of struck match. In the mouth a sweet attack develops tangy and peppery characters, with lime, apple and tropical fruits cutting through the round, buttery body. Delicious. Drinking Window 2019 - 2026

Wine Enthusiast (WE) : 93 Points (2016)

Light scents of hazelnut, fresh honeycomb and ginger root sit atop the fruit core of Asian pear, pineapple core and green melon, with secondary waves of sweet lime leaf and Honeycrisp apple. The balanced and focused palate shows nice precision, with bright acidity and an exuberant saline spray that carries through to the finish. Notes of lemon curd, lime pith and melon rind lead the close, which then evolves into decadent tones of lightly toasted apple skin and peach pit.

Wine Spectator (WS) : 93 Points (2016)

Bright yellow apple, peach and pear flavors mingle here, with a creamy texture and a finish that glistens with honeysuckle and quinine notes. Offers lovely purity and length. Best from 2021 through 2026.

James Suckling (JS) : 91 Points (2016)

Dried apricots, melon drops, vanilla, spices, cloves and nutmeg. Medium body, pretty acidity and a zesty finish.
