2016 Howard Park Scotsdale Cabernet Sauvignon

Totally opaque black dark red colour with a deep dark red hue. Pronounced ripe red to blackcurrant aromas mingle with cigar box, spicy black olive and subtle bay leaf notes. Medium to full in body the palate is richly flavoured with blackcurrant and ripe mulberry fruit over a back drop of vanillin cedar, tobacco, dried herb, subtle black olive and spice elements. Generous fleshy mouthfeel with fine grained tannins, good depth and a long savoury aftertaste.
Cellar 5-6 years.
Alc. 14%

Other Reviews….
Cabernet and the Great Southern join hands to produce a wine with precision and a strong tactile message. Blackcurrant, bay leaf and bramble fruits elegantly nudge oak into line. A wine with a very large drinking window already open. Drink by 2036.
