Chateau Leamon

Shiraz Reserve 1997

I've had this bottle in my cellar more than 20 years. It was delicious. Plum/prune, dry cured dark olives, caramelized/roasted meat juices on the nose. Elegant and slightly spicy with well resolved tannins and a hint of warmth to the alcohol. This was better balanced than many later bottles that seemed to chase the Parker style of big/ripe/extracted/oaky. — 3 years ago

Machete Petite Sirah Blend 2016

A Leamon family favorite. Delicious dark chocolate and fruit compote flavors, with tannins allowing the finish to be smooth and slow. — 6 years ago

Chateau Leamon

Shiraz 2008

Lovely purply wine under stelvin cap. Big berry and other fruits on opening then fruit driven olives, richness and softness with understated tannin when it opened up. A fine expression of place from Bendigo. — 7 years ago
