Description
// 99% Cabernet Sauvignon, 1% Malbec. Label artwork by Robert Owen, entitled “Blue Note #3"
"A depth of currants, dark cherries and boysenberries greet the nose. Fragrance of violet and lavender creates a perfumed and heightened lift. Complexities of oregano, dried sage, black cardomom, anise and tobacco leaf gather beneath. The palate is concentrated and finely textured, with a core of currants and dark cherries. There is elegance with an ethereal nature; brightness, vibrancy and buoyancy of natural acidity is a highlight. Black olive, vanilla pod and petrichor lead to a palate with a neatly packaged tannin graphite-like structure. " - Leeuwin Estate
"One of the most elegant Art Series wines to date, yet it still has plenty of detail and power, it just feels more composed. A whorl of mulberries and blackberries all spiced up with cedary oak and cinnamon, licorice root and nori. The more mid-weighted palate is very even, with beautifully judged cocoa powder-like tannins. The invigorating acidity lengthens out the finish. It’s singing now yet will age gracefully. Bravo." - 96 points, Jane Faulkner
