Howard Park Abercrombie cabernet sauvignon 2023

Right off the bat that this is the finest Abercrombie cabernet yet released. A few things have contributed to it. The great vintage for a start, the maturing vines on the Leston property at Margaret River, the continued refinement with oak use, including reduction in new oak and a real focus on achieving structure through the fermentation. It is a glorious statement of Margaret River cabernet. The colour is bright and lustrous, the aromas perfumed and alive, while the palate simply sings. Fine tannins and reduced French oak harness some simply glorious fruit.
