“One of the great modern ‘Margaret’ releases — powerful yet beautifully controlled, layered with complexity, and built for long-term ageing.”

Tasting Notes

Appearance:
Deep garnet with a vibrant ruby core — dense, glossy and youthful for its age.

Aroma:
A captivating bouquet of blackcurrant, dark cherry and mulberry, underscored by bay leaf, cedar, tobacco leaf and graphite.
Hints of mocha, dried herbs and violets add further lift and sophistication.

Palate:
Commanding yet refined.
The palate delivers classic Wilyabrup structure, with concentrated black fruits wrapped around firm, silky tannins.
Expect layers of:

• cassis and black cherry

• red plum and mulberry

• cedar, spice and pencil lead

• earthy, savoury depth and mineral drive

It’s intense without heaviness — seamlessly balanced and superbly proportioned.

Finish:
Long, powerful and beautifully composed, finishing with pure black fruit, fine tannin grip and lingering savoury complexity.
A wine that speaks of site, pedigree and craftsmanship.
