Perhaps the most serious value entrant from Margaret River in a very long time; layers upon layers of blackcurrants, blackberry fruits and dry plum all within bright acidity and finely gripped tannin firmness. Certainly drinks more like an accomplished $30 wine than one which can be had for less than half that, and on the day it achieved its score, beat out many far higher priced fancies. Fantastic.

Gets flavours of blackcurrant, gravel, eucalypt and dark chocolate up and running from the start, and does nothing to interrupt the flow from there. It feels and tastes good, and has just enough tannin to keep it tidy. Keen buying.
