Howard Park Leston Margaret River Shiraz 2018

An impressive Margaret River release from Howard Park, a distinguished WA estate owned by the Burch family, a founding member of Australia’s First Families of Wines. The Feng Shui cellar door is a ‘must-see’ according to Halliday. With their Margaret River Shiraz they aim – successfully – to combine the ripeness and opulence of warmer climates with the spice and elegance typical of cooler ones. A mouthfilling mix of black and red fruits; boysenberry, cherry, plum, attractive leafy notes, hints of tobacco, spice and black olive. "Splendidly fruited and complex ... offering plump mouthfeel together with delectable fruit flavours and a prolonged velvety finish. 96pts" (Sam Kim, Wine Orbit). "Rich and weighty dark berry fruit, plush and velvety as it flows with an undertone of sweet spices and boudin noir" (Stuart Knox, The Real Review).
