"The oldest winery in Margaret River delivers, as usual, a powerful yet elegant wine expressive of place, people and vintage. The nose is lucid yet broody. Layers of flavor include fresh cherry, dried violets, eucalyptus, white pepper and a signature sea-brine nuance, all backed by well-placed chocolatey oak. In the mouth it's plump and silky fruited, etched in taut, herb-flecked tannins. Drink now-2030 with everything from pork belly to pizza. Christina Pickard"

"(2022) The blend includes Petit Verdot 8% and Malbec 2%, 20 - 40 years old grown on well-drained gravel loam soils. A small proportion saw carbonic maceration, and the wine was aged in French oak barriques (44% new) for 18 months. A year since I last tasted this, and the impression is much the same: lifted and fragrent, the olive/tapenade hint of the herbal adds a smoky savouriness to the sweet and solid black fruit. On the palate a tongue-coating raft of thick black fruit and creamy tannin, smokier barrel components combining with brighter cherry acid for a long, fruit and acid-driven finish."

"This bottling of Margaret River's most longstanding wine wears the long, cool vintage on its sleeve. It's a heady mélange of aromas and flavors such as black currant, sassafras, mint, cloves and green peppercorn. The tannins are taut and talc-like in texture, weaving seamlessly around the fruit, earthy herbs and spices, propelling them towards a long finish. Elegance and power are entwined here. Drink now-2035. Christina Pickard"

"It's hard to believe that this is Vasse Felix's middle-tier red, such is its pedigree. With a little Malbec and Petit Verdot in the mix, this Cabernet is classic Margaret River, balancing power and structure with complexity and poise. Evoking the springtime scents of this coastal region, it billows ripe red currents, eucalyptus, sage, beach scrub and sea spray. Set up for aging, tannins are fine and vice-like and the oak is fairly prominent, but all should settle into place with a few more years in bottle. Drink now until 2029. Christina Pickard"

"Currant, clove, cinnamon, cola, and sun-baked earth form this attractive nose, which leads into a medium-bodied palate that has mineral and medicinal herb characters along with more cinnamon and currant. The tannins are tightly grained yet silky. A wintery Cab that could be cracked open now with food or cellared through 2027."

"This is firm, dusty and seemingly built for the cellar. Toasty, cedary and chocolaty oak frames dark fruit, yet it remains fresh in character, not dried or overripe. The finish is long, tannic and reminiscent of fine Bordeaux. Try after 2020."

"This crisp, medium-bodied wine showcases Cabernet's hallmark cassis fruit. Sure, there are hints of cranberry, raspberry and cherry, but black currant defines this wine, running from start to finish. Dusty tannins swirl gently on the palate, combining with tart acidity to offer just the right amount of structure. Drink now-2025."

"Ätherisch-kräuterbetont, ganz kühle Art, Eukalyptus am Gaumen, fein eingewobene Tannine. Ein hoch eleganter Wein ganz eigener Prägung, erinnert an Bordeaux wie er einst war."

"Wine Enthusiast" hat den Wein "Vasse Felix Estate Cabernet Sauvignon" aus dem Jahrgang 2009 am 01.01.2013 mit 92 von 100 Punkten bewertet.
"Vasse Felix's impressively consistent track record with Cabernet continues with the 2009, a mouth-filling, supple wine that still retains a modicum of structure. Bold cassis fruit is balanced by earthy, meaty complexity and finishes long and mouthwatering. Drinkable now, but it should hold easily through 2020, and possibly longer."

"Vasse Felix is making boldly flavored yet balanced Margaret River wines epitomized by this Cabernet, which features cassis and mint aromas, bright fruit-driven flavors that manage to avoid jamminess and a firm, tannic finish. Drink 2013-2020."

"(2009) A little Malbec in this too. Difficult vintage, but Virginia really likes a lot of the wines that have come good. Herbal notes here, with a definite character of sage leaves that are in the herbal spectrum, but again Virginia's argument is persuasive that this is not under-ripeness, but a savoury herb quality of the region. The palate has a fine black fruit quality, with an earthy, juicy quality that powers through. The tannins are ripe, just adding a chewiness to the quite fat berry fruits and well-balanced acidity."

"(2009) From a really warm year, the herby quality is not so pronounced, but that little smoky, gentle sage leaf character is definitely still there. The fat, sweet fruit, is more glossy and full on the nose and onto the palate, more into the cassis spectrum, the oak building in the finish to give lots of savoury, dry tannin - fruit tannin that is firm but has a certain juiciness. Lovely finish too. Lots of sweetness."

"(2009) First commercial release. Sweet, curranty fruit, a touch volatile, but great fruit at the core. There's a blackcurrant richness here still, and a touch of coffeeish warmth in the finish. That sweetness is terrific."

"This wine starts off dark, laden with prune, cola and coffee notes, but it really freshens up with some air, developing a lively interplay between bright red-plum fruit and darker notes of earth and tobacco. It's richly textured with velvety tannnins that impart a slightly chewy feel at this stage; best from 2010-2018."

"Red and black plums build a strong core for this medium-bodied Cab. Claylike texture and flavors show in the midpalate, and make for a fine close to a fine wine. Fruit comes from Mt. Barker and Margaret River; aged 18 months in French oak."

"Almost black in color, an infantile wine whose aromas are just beginning to emerge. Cassis and blackberry jam are joined to smoky, oaky scents. Huge, young and tannic, with high acidity and a treasure chest of buried fruit. Badly in need of at least three years in the cellar."

"Black-garnet Vasse Felix has aromas of fresh wood, mint and blackberry that are muted somewhat by a cottony scent. Tart oak and blackberry flavors on the palate lead to a flash-in-the-pan, high-acid finish."

"Expressive and solid; a pleasure to drink. It starts with complex aromas of pepper and boot leather mixed with flowers and berries. It tastes of cassis, plum and cola, with toasty oak showing up in the finish, mostly after the fine fruit has faded away."

"Medium deep, ruby-red with a slightly fading rim. The nose is quite intense. Combining, some herbal and floral notes. There is a slight presence of aromatic herbs like mint and sage. The fruit is on the sweeter side, with hints of cassis, red currant and plum. There is a slight oakiness in the background, but predominantly that herb infused fruitiness. The palate has medium weight, a bit more than medium weight I would say. With a good density of fruit, those red and dark berries still with a slightly youthful texture and presence of tannin. Quite long and lingering finish, combining that juicy dark and red berries. Fresh acidity and a lot of spiciness going on in the finish. With some hints of pepper and aromatic herbs, such as mint and sage. I would still call this a fairly youthful wine, it is certainly drinkable, particularly after thirty minutes in a decanter or something in that direction. However, I think this is a wine that has the density and concentration to gain much more complexity over the coming four to six years."
