Generally one of the best Cabernets in Margaret River and therefore Australia. Very dark Ruby in colour. Cassis and blackberry, ripe and rich. I would never pick this as Margaret River in a blind tasting. Where are the herbal notes? But still recognisable as a quality Cabernet. The 2009 Moss Wood was given a poor score of only 84 points by Huon Hooke who is one of Australia’s leading wine scribes. He said “over ripe fruit is the problem “. I have always rated Huon’s reviews and have been a long time subscriber to his website and always will be but I don’t believe he got this right. On 4th July 2012 he said “I can’t see this ageing well” and gave a drinking window of 2012 to 2018. Well tonight at 15 years of age it is drinking very well. James Halliday gave the wine 95 points. — 5 hours ago

Red and dark plums, currants, and mulberry again, this seems just a little less ripe with better acid, tannins are less bitter as well, medium-long, lingering finish, this also needs aging (5+ years at least), I marginally prefer this to the 2020 since it’s more fresh and lively on the palate, lovely acid balance!! — 2 months ago

The oak seems more pronounced than the last I’ve tried one. Still one of the best chards from Australia that I’ve had. — 14 days ago

Structured, shows that dusty note I associate with Margaret River red wines, this needs more aging, but really a lovely MR Shiraz. — a month ago

The QPR of these Aussie chards has been off the charts lately, even in their youth. This killer follows up some outstanding wines from last year, with notes of grapefruit, dried mango, lemongrass, fresh cream, and vanilla. Amazing mouth feel with a long finish that keeps begging me to identify new flavors and smells. — 14 days ago

Really nice. Needed some air for the hint of wood char to blow off. Enjoyed at the Australian Club in Sydney. — 2 months ago

Elegant, restrained, berry fruit, earthy, dusty, very faint herbal notes, soft tannic structure, drinks very well but has such impeccable balance I’m certain this will effortlessly age another 10-15 years, excellent!! — 2 months ago
