Typical WA Shiraz, smooth and subtle with nice eucalyptus notes on the palette. Has lost a little of its punch in cellaring but still very pleasant. Quite a sweet nose.

Right after opening the bottle this wine expressed high acidity on the palate and an dramatic nose. With time and decanting, the acidity integrated with the wine and the bouquet subsided.This was a nice wine, but, for some reason, wasn't as impressive as when I tasted it at the winery. I don't expect it will get much better over time.

Brian + Sylvia, Wedding Dinner (Leeuwin Estate): Modern, rather international styled, but pleasant nonetheless. The nose had rich wafts of sweet blueberries, licorice spice and eucalyptus notes. The palate showed a nice polished balanced, with plenty of bright acidity and soft, velvety tannins swathed around bright, pure flavours of ripe blueberries, peppery spice and just a bit of florals on the finish. It lacked a bit of character, and some in the table did not quite like the overtly modern stylings, but I thought this was pretty well-made and quite enjoyable for a glass or two.

Ripe blueberries and spicy raspberries with cigar box and sweet oak. Palate is filled with peppery blue fruits, minerals and earthy spices. Fresh and well structured mid-palate. Finish is dry and a touch short.

Quite sweet. Very smooth, polished. Not very interesting.
