Huon Hooke
Very porty wine, oaky and borderline dead-fruit. Dark, dense and hefty. It smells more like vintage port than dry red table wine. It's not to my taste. (Grown by the Borrett family at Langhorne Creek. 15.5% alc.)

95 Points Robert Parker
Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve exudes notes of creme de cassis, marmite, some dried herbs and meat with a touch of menthol. Full and generous, it has great mid-palate weight supported by a crisp acid line and medium-firm, fine-grained tannins. It finishes long. Drink it now to 2024+.
