Howard Park 'ASW' Cabernet Sauvignon Shiraz, Margaret River, Australia

Details

Sleek and luxuriant, this wine tips its hat to a classic Australian blend while remaining effortlessly harmonious. The nose is a sensory journey through brooding dark forest fruits, sweet baking spices, and attractive undertones of black olive tapenade and hoisin duck. Cassis, blueberry and black cherry intertwine with lifted aromas of vanilla, cinnamon, anise seed, and cardamom creating lavish layers of complexity. The palate is balanced and approachable with oak influence presenting itself as milk chocolate, coffee, and wet gravel notes. This wine revels in its richness and opulence while remaining fresh with vibrant acidity, silky fruit texture and supple tannin structure.

Intense blueberry, vanilla, chocolate, and dark cherry, supported by a hint of black olive and subtle cinnamon and anise seasoning. The palate is plush and brimming with powerful berry notes, intermingled with vanilla and coconut. Persistent flavours, fine ripe tannins, a lavish texture, and spice complexity have melded well to produce this opulent and luxuriant wine.
