Woodlands Margaret Cabernet Blend 2003
Cedary, earthy aromas of dark berries, cherries and chocolates with assertive cedary oak and undertones suggestive of herbs and goat’s cheese. Smooth and supple, it delivers some delightfully vibrant cherry/berry flavour framed by tight, firm tannins, but has a rather drying and slightly dirty finish. Just needs a little more finesse.

Woodlands
Established in 1973, Woodlands is still enjoying a stunning renaissance that shows no signs of slackening. It has developed its own house style - almost a prerequisite for greatness in wine - of deeply perfumed, pristine fruit integrated with fresh, fine-grained oak and underpinned by a classically fine, chalky backbone, often revealing the kind of dusty, dried herb qualities more often seen in Bordeaux than Australian cabernet. There's again an impressively even consistency and elegance about the current releases, as well as Woodlands' typical cellaring potential. Again, it's hard to pick highlights out of a collection of highlights.
