2001 Liebich Leveret Shiraz

Very deep crimson colour with deep crimson hue. Aroma of violets, spice and plum. Perfumed with end notes of vanilla and confectionary. Mouthfilling palate – this is a generous Barossa Shiraz. Flavours of spice, liquorice, black pepper and dark chocolate with a strong emphasis of black pepper on the back palate. Velvet smooth tannins with aftertaste of ripe plum, blackberry and liquorice allsorts.

Robert Parker's Review
The young vine (8 years of age) Shiraz cuvee is the deep ruby/purple-colored 2002 Shiraz Leveret, an exuberant, fruit-driven, crowd-pleasing effort to enjoy during its first 3-5 years of life. It offers a classic bouquet of blackberries, pepper, and licorice as well as a wonderful texture. Although it lacks complexity, it compensates for that deficiency with a huge textural mouthfeel and an exuberant, hedonistic personality.
