  March 22, 2014 - This 7 year old garnet hued Margaret River Cab Merlot is nicely integrated. Unlike the Bordeaux style Margaret of the same year this style is new world. The wine opens over one hour in the decanter. Initially it is earthy which I associate with the region but then the ripe blackcurrant characters emerge draped with scents of cigar box. Swirling nearby are tomato vine and olives. There are moments of stewed plum that come and go. The wine is medium to full bodied.Drunk from bordeaux glasses at 16 degrees C. This wine pleasantly surprised me.
