Domaine Naturaliste
Rebus Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon
Love it. Black fruited - dark dark - ripe but in no way overdone. Hints of licorice/aniseed, herb, dense, long finish, great structure with amazing tannin. 5 more to go :)

Feb 27th, 2024This just gets better and better. The integration and balance is sublime and with ripe dark fruit, fresh acid, and fine powdery tannin, this will age beautifully. Seamless, silky, and long. Amazing p/q with cellaring.

Mar 7th, 2022Spectacular bottle. With MrAllen post the usual but nonetheless the lush black and blue fruit, combined with the savoury twist and firm but ripe tannins made this last in the mouth for an eternity. Yes.

Nov 25th, 2021Drinking well but 10+ years left. Good depth of blue@and black fruit with minty eucalypt twist. Still alot of tannin, but fully ripe and fine and powdery. Very good!

May 7th, 2021Incredible purity of cabernet fruit. Blueberrries, black cherries, bell peppers , hints of spice/coffee. Sweet berries. Very dry finish. Lack tannin or acid to carry the flavour through to a long finish. Much leas structured than Vasse Felix, but developed length with air. At $30 vg p/q

May 11th, 2019Elegant yet slightly over powering with green pepper notes indicating significant pyrazine in this young Cab. Need to wait few more years. Cuts well the rich braised beef shot ribs.

Feb 17th, 2019Very good. Soft and a little round for a cab sav. Subtle tannins. Berry hints.
