2021 Leeuwin Estate Art Series Shiraz

James Halliday 94 Points

There’s a fair whack of new oak to the fore, both on the nose and palate, although that should settle in time as there’s rich, ripe fruit within. Savoury and spicy with bitter chocolate and dried herbs. Sweet cedary oak leads on the full-bodied palate, then the pomace-like tannins kick in, drying the finish as a result.
