Thompson Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2022

A very fine Margaret River Cabernet, revealing, yet again, just why the region is so highly regarded for this variety. Dark maroon in colour, the nose exhibits notes of black cherries, florals, blueberries, sage, graphite and dried herbs. Linear in style with focus and direction, this is immaculately balanced with superb focus and a very long finish. Notwithstanding the concentration and seemingly endless flavours, this does offer some elegance – a narrow tightrope to walk but it manages it with class. Stunning stuff and a wine which will easily handle ten to twelve years in the cellar.
