Ray Jordan’s review
This pinnacle of the Howard Park red wine stable is now a 100% cabernet sauvignon off the Leston Vineyard in Margaret River. The result is a firmer and more classically Bordeaux styled wine with a distinctive Margaret River nuance. There is a lifted of bright red fruit on the nose with notes of violet and blackcurrant, merging with other lifts of cedar and spices. The structure is still quite taut with firm chalky tannins threading deep and long. The cedary oak sits comfortably within the concentrated and intense fruit weight on the palate. This is a wine of long-term ageing potential.
