The 2006 Art Series Shiraz contains 2% co-fermented Viognier with the wine aged for 17 months in 50% new French oak. Purple-colored, it offers up a nose of spice box, toast, coffee/mocha, meat, and blueberry. Ripe, sweet, concentrated, and balanced, this lengthy effort will offer prime drinking from 2011 to 2018. Leeuwin Estate is one of the icon wineries of Western Australia and their Artist Series Chardonnay is an annual contender for Australia’s best.

2006 年份的這款 Art Series Shiraz 濃郁度不高，酒體也并不豐滿，相反該酒卻非常的精致典雅。該酒的香氣和風味中都帶有櫻桃和胡椒粉的味道，單寧絲滑柔順。此酒具有明顯的 Shiraz 葡萄品種特征，簡單易飲，適合在接下來的 5 到 6 年內(nèi)飲用。評分：89。
