2015 THOMPSON ESTATE THE SPECIALIST MARGARET RIVER CABERNET SAUVIGNON

RRP $90 / 2035

This is a fine, sturdily built cabernet of compelling intensity and longevity. Built across strapping tannins, both well extracted grape and those from oak, the wine is a fugue across the palate of currant and leaf, repeating the tones along the tannin encasement, doused with bitter chocolate, a gentle whiff of cedar and bay leaf to finish. The oak is embedded; the sheer richness, nourishing. Quite the tour de force! NG 14.5% alc.
