  This shows everything you might want from a WA Cabernet. It’s a dark red with bricking, when you swirl it it looks distinctly browning but still dark. The nose and palate are constantly changing, showing mint, cassis, roasted bell pepper, clove, cedar - initially fruity it then turns vegetal, then to more mature dried fruits. Glossy, plenty of interest. I wish I had more of it, it’s by no means past it. The only negative is that occasionally the tannins hint towards greenness - far less so than when it was younger, but still there. Unnoticeable with food though.

  Red fruit, mint on nose. Smooth, fruit forward. Medium length. Drinking well.

  Last bottle. More savoury than I remember - tastes a bit leafy and green. Probably past its best but a decent drink nonetheless.

  Nearly 2 years since the last bottle and worth the wait. Showing some signs of age now with bricking around the rim while the palate has definitely mellowed to a delicious mouthful of smooth red fruit. The also a really nice slightly toasty / ash element on the finish now which I don't recall from a couple of years ago. Glad I've got one bottle left which I will leave for a few more years. The 2009 is still on sale in the UK and based on my experience with the 2007, I will be picking up a few bottles to tuck away in the cellar.
