2017 Howard Park Abercrombie Cabernet Sauvignon 750ml

2017 Howard Park Abercrombie Cabernet Sauvignon 750mlThe bouquet of this wine is all perfume, poise and pleasure for the lover of fine Cabernet. Great depth and nuance, as the sweet and saintly violets meld with bush herbs as fresh blue and black fruits, gently simmer beneath the surface. Naturally the flavour and structure of the palate is no less exciting. A graphite mineral savoury note gives a defined flavour and direction to start as rich berry fruits dominate the mid palate then succumb to supple,

raisin and baking spices

suppleness from the Block 12 and red fruits and brine from the Weightmans Block
