This wine certainly smells like it is the art of the earth. There are abundant minerals to go along with the ripe, red cherry aromas and the sweet oak on the nose. The palate follows suit and lays in a racy acidity on top of the firm tannins. Spaghetti Bolognese, please.

Nicely aromatic & restrained (for Australia) with purity of dark fruit (blackberries, plums, mulberry), nice depth and excellent tannins quality - juicy, polished, finely grained.
Very elegant & with beautiful balance between the ripeness & savoury notes.
A really lovely wine! — a month ago
A cooler expression of cabernet is the usual Margaret River way and this shows all of the minty capsicum it can in balance with currants and red cherry fruit. Barely a trace of oak. Med+ tannin, med/med+ acids add a nice juicy mouthwatering med+ finish. — 3 years ago
Great depth and flavor. Def buy again — 4 years ago
Peach, pineapple, honey, and quite a bit of minerality. Not much nose but a strong finish. — 3 years ago
Smooth, easy drinking. Love the little bit of bite on the end — 5 years ago

A pale lemon yellow in colour - quite youthful looking for a 12 year old Chardonnay. Aromatics of white peach - mealy and nutty notes, still with a nice acid cut at the finish. Drinking at its peak. Fuller than some Marg River Chardonnays I’ve had lately like Xanadu and Fraser Gallop. I have had richer Art Series Chardonnays but personally I love the balance in this. — a day ago
