Mr Whirly says

” Benchmark if ever there was a term that applied this is it for old Cabernet from the home of Cabernet in Oz, Margaret river”

In 2010 I wrote:

“The 1998 has sadly sold out and I was depressed for a week! Then I eventually grew the courage to taste the new 1999 vintage and I was over the moon.  The next vintage, ( sadly 2000 was not a good year, pity since this is the year I first visited this lovely wine country) 2001, I think follows the 1998 a little more. That was an epic vintage, never to be re-produced possibly. This vintage, more mineral full than the 1999, with hints of sloes, plums and spearmint. This wine is unfiltered so would benefit from being decanted. Enjoy with butter-flied leg of lamb marinated with garlic, rosemary and salt and loads of good virgin olive and slam it on the Barbeque or  in the oven! “

James Halliday

” A classic vintage, chocolate, blackcurrant and creamy oak make this a wonderful Margaret river Cabernet Sauvignon. Add a long dry finish & balanced tannic structure & you have a wine worth savouring. At its best when decanted to reveal all it has to offer.”
