Leeuwin Estate Prelude Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 (Margaret River)

Leeuwin Estate Prelude Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 nose is energetic, youthful, vibrant, and perfumed. Sage, bay leaf, cumin and dried rosemary are surrounded by a dark core of blackcurrants, cherries, and blueberries. Underlying notes of olive tapenade, dehydrated beetroot, cacao, coffee bean, and anise combine throughout. The palate has elegance, fragrance, and ethereal acidity, whilst being open and present. Generous black fruits meet savoury spice, subtle oak, and a granitic feel. Iodine and black tea notes weave intensity into the fruit core. The tannins are silky and seamless, with enviable length. A delicate and expressive vintage.
