Hickinbotham Clarendon Vineyard Trueman Cabernet Sauvignon 2015
McLaren Vale, South Australia, AustraliaCatching up a year later with this highly regarded cabernet made by Australian Charlie Seppelt and American Chris Carpenter. Pure black fruit and cassis with tobacco, menthol, and dark chocolate jump from the glass. The fruit is hand-picked from Clarendon high country at 220 metres, where it builds weight and flavour in the warm mornings, and freshness and acidity through cool nights. The richness and density continue to remind me of Pomerol, while the drinkability and savoury aspects suggest Western Tuscany. First planted in 1971 by Alan Hickinbotham, it remains well cared for today under the Jackson Family Wines banner. Delicious especially when decanted for two or three hours.
