'An outstanding Voyager cabernet. It's beautifully balanced too. Deeply flavoured, well structured, softly textured and - dare I say it for an intense young cabernet - delicious to drink. It tastes of chocolate, cassis, liquid pencils and fresh cedarwood, the lot underscored by a throaty, gravely, brooding intensity. Super wine. Has a long, long future ahead of it. Drink: 2012-2022. '

'So utterly beguiling and downright delicious that I can't stop drinking it ' this is Margaret River cabernet at her best. Wound around the core of blueberry, mulberry and black fruits are layers of savoury and spice notes such as liquorice, bay leaf, tobacco and a hint of mint sitting alongside fine soft tannins and cedary yet well-integrated oak. Very plush, succulent and superbly balanced but with all great reds, this needs time. And in a word, outstanding.'
Jane Faulkner, The Age 48 Hours Drink Now to 2025
'A big wine from a big year. This is 81% Cabernet, 14% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot and 100% Margaret River. Of recent vintages it reminds me most of the brooding 2001 rather than the charming 2003. Strong and ripe with blackberry, cherry, dark chocolate, violet, some eucalyptus and a good measure of cedar/vanilla oak. On the palate full bodied and generous with flavours of cherry, plum and mulberry, some chocolate richness, a bit of floral mouth perfume, a little tobacco savouriness and sweet vanilla oak in support. It has plenty of ripe earthy gravely Margaret River tannin, balanced acidity and takes a long line through the mouth. A powerhouse with high potential. Be patient with this one - it needs time to unfurl before it really flies. Rated : 95+ Points Alcohol : 14.2% Closure : Screwcap Drink : 2014 - 2024+ '
