Absolutely clean as a whistle. Showing Margaret River coolness and with the primary fruit having just integrated. This will kick on for another decade.

Notes of Capsicum (red pepper), mulberry and leafy notes. A good entry level Cabernet from Xanadu. Medium bodied with all the characteristics of quality Margaret River Cabernet but a little detuned. Xanadu is one of the up and coming wineries in the west winning major trophies on the Show Circuit like Deep Woods Estate who are challenging the established Margaret River hierarchy like Moss Wood, Cullen, Woodlands, Vasse Felix, Cape Mentelle, Leeuwin Estate etc etc.

Elegant and tight, lifted -would like to see it open up more but plenty of promise and coming back for the cheese course #sydneywineretro

Dusty dry herb and spice. Elegant, nice round and juicy fruit intensity. Silky, layered and deep. Excellent!

Good not amazing. Not too dry on the finish and a nice smooth start.

Bright ruby red color with nice aromas and taste of red cherry, chocolate, and a touch of peppery on the nose and palate. Medium-to-full-bodied, soft & smooth tannins, lovely structure, and medium length at the end. Better than expected, and I like the taste of chocolate on this wine. One of the best Cabenet Sauvignon Aussy wine under Bt1,000.

Underwhelming, feels like a manufactured wine, albeit well made, cannot fault it, typical Margaret Cabernet, lacked the charm and interest for me to revisit.
