Score 91/100 · Drink 2003-2018, Robert Parker, Aug 2003

The 2001 Wilhelmus Estate Proprietary Red, a blend of 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Merlot, 18% Cabernet Franc, and the balance Malbec and Petit Verdot, was aged completely in French oak, of which one-third was new. I am not totally persuaded by Bordeaux varietals in many sectors of Australia, but this is a beauty. A deep ruby/purple-colored, smoky, rich red, it offers up notes of cassis, new saddle leather, tobacco leaf, and hints of spice box as well as licorice. Nicely textured and full-bodied, with good freshness and uplift due to integrated acidity and tannic structure, it should drink well for 12-15 years.
