Leeuwin Estate Shiraz Art Series 2016

An abundace of bursting blackcurrants, boysenberries and mulberries glide between sweet and toasted spices of black cardamom, cinnamon quill and nutmeg. Offset are perfumed notes of violets, anise, dark chocolate, camphor and Sichuan peppercorns. The palate is fi nely poised, yet with a generous mid palate weight. Vibrant and opulent black and blue fruits mesh with dried cranberries, caramel and cocoa notes. The tannins are tactile and structural providing direction and length. Distinctive, crisp red fruit flavors give way to floral and spice details, a touch of horehound candy and accents of caramel, set on a sleek, juicy body. The tannins firm up on the finish, where a spicy element comes in.
