"90 POINTS. Clean, well-balanced, fruit-driven and varietal. It drinks well as a youngster but its inherent balance and general swagger of tannin should hold it in good stead in the cellar. Generally gravelly and curranty. Fruity, but not sweet, with dried leaf matter whispering away in the background..." - Campbell Mattinson.

Colour: Dense dark red to black colour of great intensity.

Nose: An intense and rich bouquet led by the ripest cassis and berry fruits, rich and opulent but brooding in its youth. Behind the primary fruits are distinctive vineyard characteristics of dark chocolate and mint. The oak is background cedar which will recede further as the fruits emerge with some bottle age.

Palate: This vineyard consistently produces intense fleshy and full mid palate Cabernet with massive fruit weight with dark cherry and blackcurrant flavours. At the time of writing the wine is very youthful and tight but it still has ample fruit sweetness that will only become more accessible as the wine matures in bottle. This is a big full wine with ample flavour and concentration in the classic Margaret River tradition.
