Leeuwin Estate Art Series Cabernet Sauvignon 1997
Cabernet Sauvignon
from Margaret River, Australia
winemaker's notes:
Vibrant red ruby colour. This wine is showing its Cabernet Sauvignon dominated heritage. The spice, cedar and roasted coffee aromas are lifted and complexed with the rich curranty fruit possible from a fully ripe year.
The palate also has those same fruit characters with elegance and plenty of length. It is well balanced and rich with lovely medium weight mouth feel. The persistent flavours of ripe plums stays with you on the finish.
This wine is a real pleasure at the moment but will round out more so in a year or two and will live on for 7-10 years.
