2005 Clarendon Hills Sandown Cabernet Sauvignon

Opaque black crimson colour with black crimson hue. The nose shows strong Cabernet lift, with top note of cedar, followed by cigar box, blackcurrant and spice. The palate displays ripe Cabernet fruit flavours of blackcurrant, cassis, cedar and spice. Fine grained tannins, perfect balance. Very long aftertaste of cedar, cassis and spice.
Cellar 5-8 years (2012-2015)
Alc/Vol: 14.5%

Other Reviews….
The exceptionally concentrated, huge, dramatic 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon Sandown possesses monster depth, but impressive equilibrium, purity, and balance. It requires 3-4 years of cellaring, and should last for two decades.
