Description
"A fragrant and perfumed nose is highlighted by violets and rose petal. A dense core of dark fruits in symmetry with blueberries, red currants and boysenberries is the primary fruit corridor. An array of spices of star anise, Sichuan pepper and cinnamon quill supply underlying complexity. Subtle nuances of petrichor provides extra detail. Layered, luscious and concentrated, the palate is focused on blueberries and mulberries. There is vibrancy, freshness and drive, defined by natural laced acidity throughout. A graphite and mineral thread foil ties in the primary fruits and acidity, leading to a diligent and polished finish." - Winemaker Notes
“How easily we forget the glories of Margaret River Shiraz, so often overshadowed by its more noble sibling, Cabernet. Wines like this certainly remind us of the error of our ways. Crimson/garnet. There are notes of spices, red fruits, dry herbs, redcurrants, soy, warm earth, truffles and cherries. A beautifully fragrant, elegant and finely crafted Shiraz. Very fine tannins, though plenty of them, with that hint of graphite that seems typical of the region. Excellent length. This should drink well for the next six to ten years. Love it. This is not just one of the very best Leeuwin Shiraz I have seen, but one of the best from Margaret River.” - 95 Points, Ken Gargett, Wine Pilot
