Huon Hooke
Lovely cigarbox aromas, cedary, the wine is pin-point ripe and the palate is elegant and refined, stylish and clean. A very elegant, tight wine with firm tannins and lashings of sweet fruit, in lovely balance. It has the power and drive to go on for many years. (74% Great Southern; 26% Margaret River)

Very deep purple-black in color and showing a youthful, vibrant nose of fresh blackcurrants, crushed blackberries and black cherries accented by touches of chocolate, anise, cedar, cloves and cinnamon stick, the medium to full-bodied 2011 Abercrombie Cabernet Sauvignon is packed with slowly evolving black fruit and baking-spice flavors and is structured by a firm backbone of very fine, ripe tannins and just enough complementing acidity. It finishes with great length. Drink it now to 2025+.
