James Halliday Wine Companion

Description 93pt, beautifully mature Margaret River classic from “a superlative vintage” (Ned Goodwin MW, The Halliday Wine Companion), but Ned continues: “…what sets Thompson Estate's wines apart is their understated confidence. The fruit, a jubilant chorus of Cabernet's choir, singing currant, graphite and bay leaf. Merlot provides some juicy fill and Malbec (7%) and Franc (6%) some aromatic high tones.” From a Margaret River Estate set up by cardiologist Peter Thompson in 1997, who planted the first vines.
