Cape Mentelle not missing a beat of late, when it comes to delivering fine Cabernet Sauvignon... Boysenberry, spicy slightly doughy oak, but in a nice way, subtle mint and herb perfume, and wet cement. It’s medium to full-bodied, with almost juicy yet explosive fruit power, considerate oak, thick grainy tannin, and a very attractive aniseed perfume running through it. Tight and long in the finish, with tannin gripping and shaping it up beautifully. This is excellent. Drink 2020-2035+ 94+ points, Wine Front (3/2018).

A firm and substantial Cabernet that has structure to support extended cellaring. It’s largely Cabernet, with smaller amounts of Merlot, Petit Verdot and, curiously, a little dab of Shiraz. Has a lifted floral bouquet with notes of scented red berry and cedar. The palate is elegant, with juicy fruit balanced by some nice cedary oak and firm tannins. The style has changed in recent years to one of more robust dimensions. 95 points, Weekend West.

This should be the least ready of the trio of Cape Mentelle '15 siblings, but is the most ready. It is absolutely delicious now, with all of its flavour, texture and structure ducks in a row. It's the stealthy softness of the tannins, which are there, and will continue to do what is required of them for decades to come. 96 points, James Halliday (01/08/18)

A smooth rendition of this southerly Margaret River cabernet. It offers dark berries, red plum compote, spiced black tea and cedary oak influence on the nose. The palate has a deep and long sleeve of fleshy ripe cabernet fruit that is cast in smooth, long tannins. An approachable, expansive vintage that’s full of pleasure and good aging potential.
95 points, Nick Stock (December 2018)

Medium to full red colour with a tracery of purple. The bouquet is nutty and oak-driven, with a most unusual floral nuance; dry, savoury and showing a top-note of oak and tobaccoey fruit, while the palate is fairly firm and structured to age. It demands patience. There is a deep-set core of red fruit and underlying elegance. Also overtones of bitter Italian herbs, the aromas changing constantly as it aired. In the final analysis, it's not a great Mentelle: it's just a little vegetal.
93 points, Huon Hooke (April 2018)
