95 Points - James Halliday Wine Companion.

Apparently, 95% of the fruit comes from Margaret River and 5% from McLaren Vale – why bother?

No information as to how this wine comes together, where it was made, who tinkered with it or who put it in a ridiculously heavy bottle.

Details folks, all important.

There’s no denying this is polished and richly flavoured with mulberries and blackberries, cassis and some tangy/tart pomegranate and loads of new oak – cedary sweet and spicy.

The persuasive tannins, plenty of them, flood the full-bodied palate.

In a way it’s stately and so far removed from the elegance Margaret River achieves seemingly effortlessly with this variety.

It’s constructed and yet, some will go for this despite the eye-watering price.
