Region: South West Australia, Great Southern, Margaret River
Vintage: 2009
Colour: Ruby red with a copper meniscus
Alcohol: 14.0%
Bouquet: Menthol, minty and red-currants
Flavour: A dollop of fruit to start, more towards blackcurrant with good drying tannins. Marginally more body than a straight Cab although to be fair, tasted blind I would guess 100% Cab. A good drop and lovely example of this style.
Points: 85 (4+6+11+7+7+50)
Notes: Just discovered that I tasted it last year here. Key difference is description of menthol in the nose which I noticed more this time rather than any apparent plum. A bargain wine.
