2005 West Cape Howe Book Ends Cabernet Sauvignon

An impressive Cabernet, which has been matured in French and American oak for 18 months. Opaque black crimson colour with black crimson hue, with excellent cling to the glass. There is a hint of tea leaf but it is very acceptable. On the palate, flavours of blackcurrant, spice and cassis. Fine grained tannins. Aftertaste of blackcurrant and cassis with a touch of tea leaf persisting.
