One of the great vintages in Margaret River. This excellent Cabernet had leafy herbal notes. Medium bodied and a great Cabernet in any company. One minor whinge was a slight lack of cassis berry fruit. I know it is 15 years old but great Bordeaux has it.

I really wanted to enjoy this wine but it fell flat. One of my friends told me you should never drink aged cabernet expecting it to be a crowd pleaser, he was right. It is a brilliantly made wine in terms of structure and acidity but still too tannic and grippy on the palette. Maybe it's indicative of the wine's superb structure but not my bag at all. Definitely seeing how cabernet is the thinking man's wine...
