"A marker of great cabernet is being seduced by the aromas and flavours, which need to be in harmony: everything tucked in neatly, and let’s not forget beautiful tannins matched to fine acidity. Does this fall into that class? Too right it does. Varietal flavours are pitch-perfect and not quite understated, this is cabernet after all, and the result is a certain elegance and class. A gorgeous rendition."

"Good depth of red-purple colour and a fresh aroma which leads with leathery oak-derived notes. The tannins create a very drying impression on the palate. There is elegance and impressive intensity here, but also some toughness—that age will almost certainly soften. There is a core of dark fruit—blackberry and mulberry—that emerges the more you work the glass. This is a sleeper, and loaded with latent potential."

"A stylish and elegant expression of this very good Margaret River vintage. The smaller volume and tight berry factor have contributed to the intensity and power on the palate especially. Highly perfumed nose with leafy red berry and blackcurrant and with a trace of bay leaf and black olive. The palate is silky smooth and more in the medium bodied zone. So bright and vibrant with a dry chalky tannin and fine oak support. A classy wine."

"Vasse Felix’s self-titled middle range often represents the best value for money, in this reviewer’s opinion. This is both an excellent example of the range’s quality as well as of Margaret River’s distinctiveCab style. Layered aromas of tangy red currant, raspberry and cranberry are woven with pencil lead, new pavement and tobacco leaf. There’s a wonderful lift of crunchy currant fruit on the palate, which counterbalances the big smudgy, savory tannins."
