Hickinbotham - Block Series CC208 Cabernet Sauvignon 2014 750ml
"Cabernet Sauvignon grows in ideal conditions on the Hickinbotham Clarendon Vineyard thanks to the combined influence of elevation, aspect, prevailing winds, weather and ancient soils. The CC208 Cabernet Sauvignon showcases the pinnacle of our vineyard's excellence, meticulously selected from the finest blocks of old contoured vines. With its rich and concentrated fruit flavours and robust tannins, this wine captures the essence of the land it hails from.
Nose: Bright red cherry, super floral rose petal, blueberry pie.
Palate: savory fruit, black tea, faint tomato, tannins are still quite prevalent. " - Hickinbotham
"Full brick-red colour with a tawny edge, showing its maturity; the bouquet is very mellow and complex, with roasting-pan aromas that belie lavish oak treatment. Truffle notes also appear, and there are intense red fruit flavours throughout the long palate, which is lively and vital. Delicious wine, the maturing of bottle-age has reaped rewards. A lovely glass of wine, ready to enjoy now but has quite a few years to go. Old-school and very well rendered. 95pts" -Huon Hooke (The Real Review)
