2022 Leeuwin Prelude Cabernet Sauvignon 750ml

Critic tasting note: (2022 vintage) "The nose is perfumed and inviting, with aromas of blood plums, dark cherries and licorice. The palate is medium- to full-bodied with notes of boysenberries, dried herbs and baking spice framed by a well-structured tannin profile. Very giving and lush. Delicious. Drink or hold. Screw cap." - James Suckling The palate is open with volume and capacity. There are delicate subtle textures within; there is a black core fruit centre, unfolding within a mineral and graphite thread. Delicate notes of cedar and grilled almonds are present. Tannins are fine, long and elongated with a tight and vibrant acid frame. The nose is defined by vibrancy, fragrance and perfume underlined with violets and lavender. There is a deep and intense rich core of fruit, surrounded by blackcurrants and blueberries. Cassia, bay leaf, dried sage, star anise and cumin offer complexity and layers.
