Written Notes

79% from Great Southern, the rest from Margaret River. Only 2% Merlot and 1% Cabernet Franc. 20 months in (50% new) French oak.
Much more deeply coloured than the Mount Mary. Gently herbal, cedary but very pure cassis with a fine note of coffee or bitter chocolate. Tight and very direct but not at all lean. Not as long as the Mount Mary but great finesse, freshness. Direct fruit flavours but also great restraint. Very well tailored and elegant.
