Mulberry and some leafy notes as well, still a little grapey, lacks the depth and structure of the 2018 Leeuwin Prelude, seems close to mature despite the grapey texture, good.

1989 Holy Cow!

@Doug Powers An interesting background to that Cuvée. Made by 3 sisters if I recall.

Doug Powers

@Bob McDonald, the three sisters had a father, Michel Faraud, who I’m pretty certain made the 1989, but perhaps had handed the winemaking off to his three daughters by 1995?? Does anyone reading this know when (Dad) Michel handed things off to his three daughters?

Mulberry, black plums, faint mint/eucalyptus aromas and flavors, very nicely balanced, lingering finish, this is a lovely entry-level Margaret River Cabernet!!

Delectable woes have resurfaced!!!

@Doug Powers - I don’t think they ever went away!
