It is a simply wonderful example of Margaret River delivered with poise, power, and a certain panache. Captures the vintage well with the power and yet subtle restraint that it's best known for. It's medium to full-bodied but beautifully elegant. With an aroma of classically varietal blackcurrant, dark plums, and a slightly leafy bay leaf sort of character with a trace of minerally oyster shell, leading into a palate that has power and real poise. It's a wine of tremendous brightness and energy. And while it's drinking quite beautifully now, you can guarantee this will cellar for many years. Cellar 20 years. $45\"\u003cstrong\u003e- Ray Jordan, rayjordanwine.com.au.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"c-single-slider__slide-wrapper\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\"\u003cstrong\u003e96 Points\u003c\/strong\u003e. Impresses as soon as it’s poured. Deep, dark garnet yet bright. All the varietal and regional aromas and flavours are neatly entwined, offering youthful fruit flavours and savouriness. Superbly balanced with textural, abundant tannins. Nicely drying with fresh acidity pulling everything to a fine, long finish. One of the best to date. 14% alc. $45.
