2013 Leeuwin Estate Prelude Cabernet Merlot, Margaret River
A$31.50
James Halliday - Published on 01 Aug 2017
Sets the scene for its Art Series brother. Tight texture and structure, with blackcurrant fruit adorned with sprigs of dried herbs, firm tannins and subtle oak. Retasting shows the line and length of the wine, and encourages medium term cellaring.

91% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Merlot.
A lifted, concentrated and layered nose, consisting of blackcurrants, red cherries and boysenberries. Fragrant violets, clove, anise, cassia bark and black cardamom suitably sit in the background. The palate is vibrant and tightly coiled with blackcurrant, cocoa and finely tuned oak. Subtle spice, underlying char and roasted coffee bean offer delicate complexity. Laced acidity with silky ripe tannins provides both length and balance.
