"95 points. A glass of this and all’s well. Fragrant with mulberries, cassis, nori and baking spices, the medium-bodied palate is superfine and long with textural tannins adding to the pleasure." Jane Faulkner (James Halliday's Australian Wine Companion
A pronounced nose of red fruit notes and a hint of bay leaves. Fine tannins and bright red berries on the palate with blueberries and cranberries.
A classic example of Margaret River Cabernet made to enhance the fruit purity with elegance and approachable structure. The wine was matured in barrel for 15 months with limited racking, 26% new French oak was used.

Wine arrived in only a few days after ordering, as usual with the Australian Wine Centre. Have opened one bottle and although it is very palatable I think I will cellar the others for a while. I am too used to beefy shiraz from Water Wheel!
