Generously concentrated with ample dark berry fruits, fine chocolaty textures and well integrated vanilla notes. Amaro at the finish. A substantial wine with appealing density and definition. A classic iron fist in a velvet glove type of wine. Drink now–2030 13.5% alc Domaine Naturaliste G 94 Le Naturaliste Cabernet Franc 2020 This 2020 Cabernet Franc shows strong typicity as it radiates with a dense core of liquorice, blackberry and cedar-y tones with a touch of lift. It’s surprisingly structural, with rich chewy tannins around a core of well defined dark berry flavours providing a muscular texture before tightening up on the finish. Young and serious Cabernet Franc. Drink 2028–2040 Howard Park G 94 Abercrombie Cabernet Sauvignon 2020 A subtle change for Abercrombie in 2020, this vintage is exclusively sourced from Margaret River without any fruit from Mount Barker. It is quite a different expression, with powerful graphite and gravel aromas enriched by thick layers of blackberry with a touch of cocoa, and new French oak never far away, topped by a layer of dried herbs. Quite classic in style, with meaty/chewy tannins over blackberry flavours with a faint whisper of peppermint. There is a sinewy, angular side to this wine right now which, with obvious fruit power, sets it up well for the long haul, although it is far from peak. Drink 2025–2048 McHenry Hohnen G 94 Hazel’s Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 The finely tuned 2019 single vineyard Hazel’s Cabernet Sauvignon from the cooler southern McHenry Hohnen vineyards offers up impressive detail and poise with layers of gravel, turned earth and blackcurrant aromas, topped with cedar-y complexity. More earthy, mineral tones emerge on the palate well supported by a rich vein of tannins and vibrant acidity through to a composed finish. It is a bit of a sleeper and will be in prime condition after another decade in bottle. Drink 2028–2038
