"2013 Voyager Estate Benchmark tasting. Wines tasted briefly, in appropriate glasses, and for me double blind so as not to induce the usual single blind ' I think this wine is this guessing game' that can happen at such tastings. A snapshot, not a leisurely assessment, though a considered one. Six wines per bracket served in appropriate glasses, picked for quality and interest. No stacking the deck to make the Voyager wines look good.
Pencil, bay leaf, blackcurrant, cocoa, red currant and cherry, fresh acidity, long fine grained tannin and an equally long finish. Slight tinniness to the acidity, but a lovely wine with plenty of time on its side. Almost a honeycomb character on the finish."

"This full-bodied, weighty red is a deep-red with purple tints and crushed-mulberry and dusty cedar aromas. Good amplitude, length and generosity, with black-fruit palate flavours of spot-on ripeness. Its five year- age is a bonus. Best now to 2039. 14 per cent alcohol."

Outstanding Margaret River cabernet. Blackcurrant, chocolate and cedary oak aromas lead through a superfine, seamless palate, juicy and rich, with soft, ripe tannins in perfect balance. Superb.
