  On tour with Tim and Phil day one (Canberra Districts and Beechworth): Double splash decanted. Blackcurrant fruit pops from the bottle, a little mint and eucalyptus, touch of salinity, oak here but well controlled and contained. Great Margaret River Cabernet nose. Medium plus intensity acidity, drying coarse flour textured tannins that prove more grape than wood derived and quite fruit saturated. Super fresh and still showing primary and young under screwcap despite the fairly aggressive double decant.

  Compared to usual this is quite an “in your face” boisterous Leeuwin Art Series. It has their tamarillo flavour profile, as much or more, but uplifted by some volatile acidity. Sweet ripe core.
  
  I guess there is the danger that this will age into a tomato sauce flavour profile.
  
  Enjoy now. A fun wine for serious wine drinkers.
  
  14%, screwcap.

  A little underwhelmed relative to prior bottles. More dominant acidity and less of the big fruit. Maybe fading?

  Purple-red colour. Little signs of evolution. Sweet cherries, some bitter rasberry and vanilla on the nose. Medium bodied, but limited taste profile - almost watered down. Lacks subtlety. One dimensional.

  Hot Rock dinner with friends: Really enjoyed this. Double-decanted then re-decanted just before serving so it had quite a lot of airtime/movement. Blackcurrant leaf and eucalyptus, singing with energy. Compelling.
