2005 Mount Horrocks Cabernet Sauvignon

Bright crimson red with purple hues.

Vibrant blackcurrent, camphor, leaf and spicy oak characters combine in this distinctively varietal nose.  

Hallmark cabernet notes run through to the palate which has the typical structure and mounthfeel of the variety – firm gently chalky tannin, power on entry and finish – which features bright acidity, indicating both its youth and potential to age gracefully. Elegant, generous classic cabernet, with distinctive current, mint and tea leaf flavours, first class French oak influences, great finesse and tremendous length, Definitely a terrific wine to cellar, for ten or more years.
