Risky Business Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon 2023

Tasting Notes

Margaret River Cabernet for this price is either going to be one of the great bargains of the year or send up warning signs, which should send consumers running for the hills. Fortunately, it is the former. A deep maroon hue, the nose is redolent of blackcurrants, coffee grinds, aniseed, sage, tobacco leaves, a touch of chocolate and evidence of a little graphite. There is good focus here, impressive length and very fine tannins. The chocolate and graphite is accentuated on the palate. A fine example and one which proves that even good Margaret River Cabernet can have relative peanuts. Cracking value. Enjoy over the next eight to ten years. Drink by: 2025-2035.
