This vintage of Margaret River Cab begins a touch reductive, amplifying the vegetal and stalky characters and making the fruit feel a little dense. The fruit is there, though, in the form of red currants backed by ground white pepper, pencil lead and plenty of oak spice. The palate is rich and concentrated, lacking a little freshness, relatively speaking. Oak flares up a little too. Nevertheless, this shows varietal character and the region's spice and graphite nuances right to the end.
