Leeuwin, Art Shiraz Size:12x750ml

Leeuwin, Art Shiraz Size:12x750mlAn essence like nose with pressed violets, brambleberries, dark cherries, citrus, orange rind and citrus. Medium to full body, chewy and structured tannins, tons of driven acidity and a spicy finish. Drink in 2021. Screw cap.

Cooler aromas include those of mineral reduction

supple cherry fruit of great depth and pushed by lifted acidity

This was initially dominated by inviting scents of burnished wood

Best from 2023 through 2040

This expands outwards from the first moment

Medium-sweet and moderately dense

it would be fair to say that this isn’t generous at present yet the underlying material is such that it should flesh out with a few years of bottle age

inviting and sneaky long finish

this clarity

It’s linear

and sandalwood notes all emerge from the 2020 Côte Rôtie Vires De Serine

(2017 will be the last vintage for this wine)
