Scores

97/100

A blend of 90% cabernet and 10% malbec. An elegantly crafted wine from this cooler vintage. Blackcurrant aromas with dark chocolate and tobacco leaf swirling through a maze of cracked seashell minerality, a trace of graphite and a little olive tapenade. A little of the malbec red fruits brings another dimension. A mighty impressive wine demonstrating the adaptability of Margaret River vintages.
