About Leeuwin Estate Art Shiraz 2023 750ML
Leeuwin Estate Art Series Shiraz 2023 opens with an expressive and layered bouquet that speaks eloquently of Margaret River's warm, maritime-influenced terroir. On the nose, vibrant aromas of dark plum, blackberry compote, and crushed violets emerge alongside subtle hints of cracked black pepper and smoked charcuterie. The palate is generous and plush, delivering waves of ripe boysenberry, dark cherry, and mocha, underpinned by a silky framework of fine-grained tannins. Judicious use of French oak lends notes of cedar, vanilla bean, and a whisper of dark chocolate, while the wine's natural acidity keeps everything fresh and focused. The finish is long, persistent, and deeply satisfying, with lingering spice and earthy complexity that rewards patience.
