The nose takes a little time to open, but patience is rewarded — fresh mulberries and blackberry compote interweave with cherry, violet and layers of red plum and cranberry, all lifted and vibrating with energy, with a touch of sweetness in the form of toffee apple woven through tight-grain oak. The power of the vintage really shows through on the palate: dense, driven and beautifully layered, with an array of dark fruits, cocoa bean, orange zest, star anise and a hint of black pepper. Serious structure and tannin sit just beneath the surface, finished with bright, energetic acidity. This is a wine that's asking to be cellared, and one that will truly reward the wait. Best opened between 2032 and 2037.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Artisan Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44966801801285,"sku":"WES22CMMARG375mL","price":52.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/8644\/4357\/files\/woodlands-margaret-2022-web.png?v=1788311832","url":"https:\/\/artisanwine.com.au\/products\/woodlands-margaret-cabernet-sauvignon-merlot-malbec-reserve-2017-375ml","provider":"Artisan Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
