Previous notes apply. More cassis than the recently tasted 2008 Lenton Brae (nearby vineyard) and overall a slightly better wine. An amazingly good 2nd wine from Woodlands from an excellent vintage. This is predicted to be drinking well towards the end of this decade and as I have 5 left I will have one every 18 months from now on if I have the patience! I ended up having the next one 50 weeks later on 31st October 2021. Definitely more herbal and brambley characters than cassis and black currant. Just medium weight 91 points. I think drink the remaining bottles in the next few years.

Nov 15th, 2020I bought a dozen about 7 or 8 years ago so there are several previous notes on Delectable. Always consistent to previous notes. Herbal, black currant - a well made Cabernet blend particularly for Woodlands 2nd ranked Cuvée. Holding up well - I still have 6 left.

Jun 12th, 2020Mid to deep Ruby. Black currant and Margaret River herbaceous notes. Medium weight with medium plus intensity. Amazing quality for this Woodlands 2nd wine. Many Margaret River producers would be happy to have this as their No. 1 wine. From another good year in the Margaret River - will go on for at least another 5 to 10 years.
