Excellent: a lovely mature cabernet with fully ripe grape character. A sparkling example of WA cabernet, balanced and drinking in its prime.
Tasted: 11/07/2018

My favorite of this trio, a blend of both Margaret River and Great Southern fruit, is the 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon. Initially tight and closed, it opens beautifully in the glass to reveal tremendous richness and persistence at the back of the palate. Black fruit, wood, compost, and earth characteristics compete in a full-bodied, chewy, nicely-textured as well as delineated style. It should drink well for 10-12 years.
