Was pretty closed to start with but opening up beautifully over a few days and really started to grow on me. Dark fruits, cedar, tobacco and a little violet on the nose. Became more structured and chewy the longer it was open. — 9 years ago

9.1

Big brooding nose of dark fruit, pencil shavings, and red meat. Massive, and tannic but fine tannins and with quality dark fruit to match. 8yo but still 8-10yrs too young. Super dry finish. Worth the wait for the px relative to good Bordeaux? 2008 vintage — 9 years ago

Good complex nose of apricot, peach, nutt and a touch of butter. Beautiful complexity, texture and lees influence. Delish ! — 11 years ago

This is the 2007 vintage. One of the better 2nd tier Marg River Cabernets for around less than half price of the big guns at approx $40. Not quite as good as the standard Vasse Felix or the Woodlands Margaret for the same price. Good fruit and herbal notes from a good vintage. 17.5+ — 11 years ago

Nice levels of restraint; black berry, medium bodied, balanced acid. Fresh finish. This isn't going to blow you away with complexity but is eminently drinkable. — 11 years ago

Distinct pencil/graphite on the nose along with dark red fruit, and maybe lavender or geraniums. Restrained cherry, blackberries, and a hint of raspberry on the palate. Good tannins and acidity. Could drink now or put away for another year or so. Purchased K&L for around $20 — 8 years ago

The LCBO is advertising this wine with a 94 score and selling it for under $20, which sounds and is too good to be true. Over-promising aside, though, it was a lovely wine. Well-balanced, with a good amount of oak and tropical fruit on the nose. A good companion for Thursday night BBQ sausages and corn. #laterwine — 10 years ago

Good, murky raspberry, bramble fruit mix up on the nose with a diligent touch of saddle leather and elegant farm yard (reminds me of muddy chocolate). In the mouth there are plenty of juicy, ripe red berry fruits plenty of fresh acidity and a spiced red fruit finish — 10 years ago

This one's in a class of it's own. Lovers of Cab Sauv praise it. Even folks like me who aren't huge fans of Cab Sauv find it pleasing. — 8 years ago

The complexity of this iconic winery’s entry-level Chardonnay belies its price, with intense Meyer lemon, pear and melon character and hints of toasty lees and fennel. Juicy, seamless and pure, it also has the balance to age. (JR)

Wow; how maturing #margaretriver #chardonnay does vary; see recent #cullen #2009 which was brassy, this gleaming green and plenty of it; #cullen restrained, this #capementelle is butch; nose power of smoke or burnt things, bottle age nose not simple, evidence of lees/ mlf from the smoke; palate chunky, lime juice, burnt toast you taste in 30 yo Eden Valley riesling; juicy smoke; rich, not terribly drying, acid taut, 13%, AUD 35, full bodied, no apparent reason for it to fade for a while; contained power. #uncorkedandcultivated #wineandfoodtours — 10 years ago

1997 vintage - on the downward slide but at 18 years of age, showing its classy pedigree - interesting to taste against the 04 tasted at the masked Zin tasting 1/12 ago - fruit has faded but structure & length maintained — 11 years ago

One of the richest of the Margaret River ultra-premium Chardonnays. Incredible, and would be 4-6x the price if this came from a Chassagne Montrachet producer. $95 USD. — 11 years ago
