I mentioned this wine in a post last month and how it did not show up well when tasted after the Sarget de Gruaud Larose 2000. Art Series is the flagship line for the Margaret River winery Leeuwin Estate, with two of its member finding their way into the Langton Classification. The Chardonnay is in the top class, whilst the Cabernet Sauvignon is in the third class. For the latter, it is often possible to find wines of good quality at very reasonable prices. For both these wines, the art label changes every year, and the picture on the label is Forwards Backwards by Geoffrey Ricardo.
As for the wine, it was ruby red with a slightly cardboardy sweet acid nose with a hint of fruit. There was a sweet vanilla wood acid fruity palate, supported by an acid woody backbone.
