Warm conditions during the ripening season produced a wonderful 2007. Deep ruby with violet hues. A wonderfully aromatic wine displaying classic Cabernet cassis, violets and juicy dark fruit. Blackberries, cherry and dark chocolate combine to create a layered, complex nose. This wine reveals an intense dark berry fruit spectrum coupled with a rich and lush mouthfeel. High quality French oak has given the wine great defi nition and a long, soft tannin structure and finish.
Dense crimson-purple; proclaims its class from the first whiff of blackcurrant and cedar, the powerful but perfectly balanced palate strongly evocative of Bordeaux, with black olive and high quality tannins underwriting the long finish, oak judged to perfection.

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.

If the Leston is a lovely example of ripe Margaret River Cabernet then this takes it to 'classic' level. Simply put, believe the hype. It's a riper year Voyager, but everything about it screams class, with perfectly judged, dark-yet-leafy, spicy black fruit and polished choc-milk drop oak. There's an almost smoky edge to the palate, the tannins mouth desiccating and long. Real seed and skin tannins those and all class. Classic wine this, classic indeed. 18.6/95 Points; Andrew Graham; Oz Wine Review
