2005 Vasse Felix Heytesbury Cabernet Blend Magnum

96 Points - Gary Walsh, The Wine Front

“Flamboyant, complex and highly aromatic with a mix of ripe cherry and cassis, violet, dark chocolate and spice tempered by more herbal influences of peppermint, gum leaf and snapped green twigs. It’s also appropriately gravelly and earthy as is the way with the best Margaret River Cabernets. On the palate full bodied and flooded with ripe cassis and cherry fruit, dried herbs and mocha flavours – a wine of considerable impact, depth and drama. It has strong ripe chalky tannins, superb balance and a long dry finish. A wine that resonates in the memory long after tasting.”

95 Points - James Halliday, Wine Companion

“Tightly focused and structured; particularly fine but persistent tannins add much to the texture; blackcurrant and touches of French oak complete the picture of a high quality wine. Cabernet Sauvignon/Shiraz. High quality cork.”
