2010 Leeuwin Estate shiraz

A winter's evening and Friday night, a good enough reason to stop off on the way from work, this was the first time at this bottle shop to purchase a bottle of wine; I immediately regretted turning off the road and walking into this place - this wasn't a great establishment to be purchasing top level wines.

The art series shiraz displays notes of cherry with mulberry layers on the foretaste with smooth oak notes holding the central palete together and dark chocolate providing complexity in the aftertaste. The tasting notes state violets, toasted brûlée with hints of mocha add elegance and sophistication - all in all, I thought this was a pretty good wine and I will purchasing more in the future.
