The first of 4 bottles from my cellar. The nose has blackberry, violets and dried herbs. The palate has that trademark Margaret River herbaceousness but in this warmer vintage more cassis, fine persistent tannins which go on forever - almost silky. Just a beautiful rendition of Margaret River Cabernet with a very long life in front of it - say 20 years. Cape Mentelle one of the early vineyards and down in the south near the town.

This (the 2011) was so different than the 2012. Had a nose that went from passion fruit to toasted hazelnut later in the night. It wasn't as heavy or muted as I found the 2012.
