Atticus Cabernet Sauvignon Case Margaret River, 2009

Atticus Cabernet Sauvignon Margaret River
Deep brick ruby, the 2009 has a complex bouquet with intense spice, cigar box, cedar, autumnal forest leaves and developing tertiary aromas. It is mellow with a supple palate, in keeping with a top-class Bordeaux style. Black fruits in the mid-palate support the structure and lead to mellow flavours with a hint of liquorice. A real treat of a wine which should remain at its peak for several years to come.

Atticus Cabernet Sauvignon Margaret River
Deep in colour, with less complexity than the 2009 but nice dark fruits, smoke and liquorice aromas. Very fresh and youthful on the palate, it has a lively acidity with lingering black cherry and liquorice flavours.

Atticus Cabernet Sauvignon Margaret River
The 2011 is a rich and concentrated wine. Deep in colour with floral spicy aromas, it has yet to develop tertiary characters. The mid palate is rich with dark fruits, black cherries and smoke, making it very approachable while young, but the tannin structure and depth suggest a long life ahead.
