Leeuwin Estate Art Series Shiraz 2021

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, and not just one of the very best Leeuwin Shiraz I have seen, but one of the best from Margaret River.
