"Aromatic and extremely complex, a big wine with many nuances. Green olive, cedar, blueberry and wild blackberry flavors are at the core of this dense, succulent red, with velvety, polished tannins. Complexity only gains on the finish, where nuances of tobacco, thyme, sarsaparilla and Earl Grey tea linger. Drink now through 2037. 250 cases imported." Wine Spectator 94 points Drink 2022-37

It's unsurprising, given the comparatively cool vintage and Leeuwin's location in Margaret River's chillier southern end, that there's a cool edge to this wine. The fresh currant and black-cherry fruit is etched in savory herbs, menthol, black olive and dark chocolate, with a briny, ocean-swept vibe. Tannins are fine and herb flecked. They're taut but not iron fisted, thanks to fresh acidity and ever-present fruit. It's a tad austere but still offers the drinkability that's signature to this long-standing estate. Would be a knockout with char-grilled steak.
