Voyager Estate Margaret River Cabernet Merlot 2007
If any of you want a respite from wine spending, then look away now. And for those of you that speculated on further price rises post 2005 vintage, the price remains the same.
Dark and broody, a little beefy, with violet and bay leaf perfume, mocha and black olive. It has all the grunt and power of the vintage with its wall of flavour, spread of firm ripe tannin and long marzipan accented finish. To give you an idea of style, I’d suggest it’s like a better, more refined version of the 2004 vintage. It’s going to cellar for a very long time too. Drink : 2016 - 2027+ 95+ points Gary Walsh, The Wine Front
A classic Bordeaux blend of 75 per cent Cabernet Sauvignon, 20 per cent Merlot, 4 per cent Cabernet Franc and 1 per cent Petit Verdot. The wine is fermented in closed fermenters with pump-over, and 40 per cent is given post-fermentation maceration. It spends 2 years in small French oak barriques prior to bottling. James Halliday
