The 1998 Cabernet Sauvignon Art Series is a compelling offering. It exhibits the elegance, restraint, European-like, measured character of the Leeuwin Estate offerings, but more dense cassis fruit. With outstanding purity as well as ripe black currant fruit, spice box, cedar, and a hint of licorice, it is a long, ripe, dense, classic Cabernet to drink over the next 12-15 years.

這款葡萄酒的香氣和風(fēng)味中都帶有濃郁的醋栗和桑葚的味道，而雪松和巧克力味讓該酒的口感多了幾分緊實。該酒酒體豐滿，余味酸爽悠長，單寧柔順。評分：92。
