Devil’s Lair Margaret River Cabernet Blend 2011
Underpinned by a dusty greenish thread that is emphasised by some pine needle-like oak this minty young cabernet delivers some elegance and polish but appears to be slightly under and over-ripened Aromas of cassis dark cherries mulberries and fresh cedarvanilla oak reveal nuances of snap pea and chevre Long and juicy with a firmish gravelly spine it finishes with herbal notes and just lacks the genuine balance and evenness for a higher rating

Devil's Lair
Devil's Lair is a long-established Margaret River brand initially developed by wine, beer and hospitality entrepreneur Phil Sexton. Today, as Treasury Wine Estates' only significant Western Australian brand, it is expanding with the introduction of the high-end 9th Chamber wines (2011 Cabernet Sauvignon 94/100, drink 2023-2031) and the emerging The Hidden Cave and Dance with the Devil tiers of blended wines. Purity of focus and flavour are a consistent feature across the collection, which also features the popular Fifth Leg wines whose quality has just slipped a little.
