Tasting notes by James Halliday Deep crimson-purple; a rich, complex, medium+-bodied wine, the bouquet and palate saturated with cassis, redcurrant and plum; exemplary tannin and oak management, better balanced (the tannins in particular) than the '11. Will develop superbly over many years to come.

Ray Jordan, The West Australian Wine Guide 201 “Dense dark fruit, displays stacks of plums and blackcurrant character on the nose with a little savoury edge to it. The palate is seamless and tightly woven into a beautifully intense coil of fruit concentration. Deep sweet fruit in the middle palate extends to a dry savoury finish. Excellent wine from these two varieties. 95/100”

“Boy this is one of the very best cabernets from Gralyn… and there have been some very good ones. The fruit displays gorgeous red berry and violet aromas creating a sensational perfume to the senses. The palate is pure and seamlessly constructed with a fine silky mouth feel.” 97/100 Ray Jordan, The West Australian Wine Guide 201
