1999 Leeuwin Estate Prelude Cabernet Merlot

A wine where the earthy, truffle characters seem to dominate. Bright, brick red colour, with brick red hue. Medium body. The nose displays aroma of new leather followed by cedar and spice. On the palate the Merlot asserts itself with its distinctive truffle flavour. Fine grain dry tannins followed by an aftertaste of earth, black pepper and spice.
