Suckfizzle Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon 2023

A big price tag, a top vintage and a wine that comes finely layered and complex. It’s a youngster, that much is also sure, and will blossom with more time in bottle cementing itself as a serious and seriously good Margaret River Cabernet. Pristine fruit fills the scent in blackberry, cassis with blueberry, violet florals, leaf and briar. The palate is built on a core of super fine tannins, running dry and gossamer fine. How does the winemaker do that? Acidity is equally just as focused aiding to the tautness of the wine’s structure. Dried leaves, Aussie bush notes, bay leaf, anise and integrated oak are cloaked in juicy black fruits and blackcurrant pastille notes. Can still be considered a bit of a sleeper with its best moments yet to come.
