So much Margaret River class to enjoy here, aromatic and fine, spicy and lively. One short sharp sniff and you are taken directly to Margs with the lifted scent of acacia, eucalypt and Aussie bush. This is also about black and lighter red berried fruits and spices like anise and peppercorn. Tying them together is discreet oak. Artifacts meets its price point and then some. Medium in body, fine in tannins, with plenty of fruit presence.
