Leeuwin Estate Prelude Cabernet Merlot(1999)
The colour is ruby plum with purplish edges.
The initial impact of the aromas is sweet fruit - blackcurrant predominant with hints of leather and good rich autumn notes. In the background, though once perceived never forgotten, is that distinctive cabernet note of slightly dusty berries.
Oak does not play a large role in this wine except to build a structure which the various fruit flavours revolve around. Flavours like plums and violets tend to show in the palate with the Merlot contribution lingering on with chewy black chocolate notes.
