Howard Park Leston Cabernet Sauvignon 2001
Margaret River, Western Australia, AustraliaVery spicy, peppery, earthy, garrigue, (WA cabernet) nose with streaks of chocolate, smoky cola, blackberry aromas and some saddle leather notes. Dry, elegant but somewhat tannic with elevated acidity. Lots of chocolate, peppery, blackberry, cassis, mocha, tobacco flavours. Good flavour intensity but the finish is just too dry and acidic for the intensity and balance of this wine.Tasted: 23 January 2005Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $34.99 | 750ml |
