As soon as you put your nose in the glass its evident that this is an exceedingly classy wine. The plushness and silkiness that Margaret River does so well is marked by a sense of stylish refinement. A delicate earthiness sits beneath a fragrant note of rose petal, cassis, plum, pepper and bay leaf. Constantly evolving and unfurling with every swirl, this is a gift that keeps on giving. The palate is as silky as the nose would suggest, with a structure marked by a freshness of acidity and supple, beautifully integrated tannins. Blackcurrant, plum and a twist of wild redberry fruit is underscored by a mellow spice, cigar box depth and classy, earthy forest floor. Striking a beautiful balance between vibrant primary fruit and mellow, savoury complexity, this wine is quite simply a joy to behold. Why it is considered to be up there with the very best of Margaret River's fine wine estates is evident. Drink this year to 2043. 14%
