Tasted blind at Must restaurant in Margaret River. Wow, what a wine…despite just a touch of TCA on the nose. But that taint cannot disguise a wonderful bouquet of blackberry, earth, sandalwood, cedar and cigar box. The palate does not seem affected at all: wonderful delineation with a ripe entry, touches of mulberry and liquorice mixed with a little undergrowth, silky and fresh as a daisy on the Médoc-like finish. Sublime. Drink now. Tasted November 2009.
