Lot Description
Optivus Margaret River Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2016 - The fruit here is sourced from the estate vineyards in the Wilyabrup sub-region. After fermentation, the wine spends a year and a half in French oak barriques, most of which are new. Under cork. An opaque maroon hue here, this is a big, powerful and intense wine. Cloves, dark chocolate, licorice, coffee beans, leather, spices and soy. The intensity is maintained throughout. The wine has fine acidity, sleek tannins and offers serious concentration. It is very long on the finish. A towering Marg River Cabernet, which is certain to continue to provide pleasure for another fifteen to twenty years. 93.

A magnificent expression, the perfumed bouquet shows cassis, cigar, clove, star anise and cedary oak characters, leading to a concentrated palate
displaying outstanding depth and persistency. Tannins are fine and beautifully infused, making the wine gutsy and supple at the same time,
with a sustained satisfying finish. At its best: now to 2037
