2018 WOODLANDS MARGARET
80/10/10% cabernet sauvignon/merlot/malbec. Rooted in the very fabric of this wine is a savoury lining of spice. It is inescapable, and it’s what makes this wine a wonder. Is it better than the great 2014? Hard to say – the 2014 was pretty amazing. But this has all the ripe power and concentration of the vintage. The pure ‘cabernosity’ of this wine is a thing to marvel at. I keep coming back to the savoury layers...they are a defining characteristic of the house style. EL 13.5% alc.
$70 / 2042
What will drinkers be rewarded with if they put this wine in their cellar? And at what point do you believe this wine will be at its peak for drinking?
2018 is one of Wilyabrup’s greatest vintages, and will reward extended cellaring. Given at least 8 years, the powerful ripe tannins will open up and evolve, letting the spicy Cabernet develop and sing. Best enjoyed from 2034 to 2038.
