Purple Palate

There's little doubt when it comes to the quality of this wine. It's excellent, and it speaks with conviction of its place and time. It's plush and ripe with dark berries and cassis, yet its Cabernet structure is still strong. There's some leaf and cigar box but the explosion of fruit flavour means those flavours and aromas aren't as prominent as they can sometimes be. More chocolate, too, than I used to get given on Easter as a child. If you find riper Margaret River Cabernet to your liking, then you'll enjoy bathing in what this wine has to offer. -JP
