Leeuwin Estate
Art Series Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon
An elegant Australian CS, modern, polished and well appreciated by critics (scores in Australia of up to 95 points). I was expecting a more deep and intense wine, as I had previous versions, maybe the wine went for a dump period, or just needed decanting. Deep red color, nose full of red current, black current, blueberries, a touch of cherries, sweet spices and mocha, medium to full body with mild tannins a vibrant acidity. Interesting yet lacking complexity. My score 88, drink 2015 -2020.

Aug 4th, 2015Cedry and capsicum, greeniness tasting notes to it. It would age, but very subtle now. Great length

Oct 15th, 2016Too often overshadowed by the Art Series Chardy, this Cab is benchmark Margaret River juice. Don't over think it, just drink it.

May 21st, 2016Good but a little shallow for my taste. Lacks some fullness.
