Leeuwin Estate Art Series Shiraz 2018
Margaret River, Australia, 75cl
Since Tim Lovett arrived at Leeuwin Estate, as winemaker, a lot more attention to detail has been focused on the red wines and the quality of juice now being produced is outstanding, with the Leeuwin Estate Art Series Shiraz being a very fine example. Tim is a huge fan of this varietal and a firm believer of its great potential in the Margaret River. The cooler nights, inspired by the maritime influence, bring a lift and a fragrance to the wine, which remind one of northern Rhône examples of this variety. Around 20% whole bunch is used, further adding lift and energy. The oak is a mix of new, I year and 2-year old barriques. This is a very stylish and refined Leeuwin Estate Art Series Shiraz, showing both depth and precision. Astonishing value. Drink from 2024.
“Lots of black-olive tapenade bitterness and meatiness building into game and char and eucalypt and iron. Delicate violet florals dance over the rain-wet-wrought-iron clench of the finish. Tannins are both rugged and polished – cowboy movie star. A hint of Moroccan leather dipped in midnight-blue ink. Long and dramatic but elegant.” - 17 Pts, Tamlyn Currin, JancisRobinson.com
