Howard Park Leston Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

James Halliday – Both opulent and fine at once. The bullseye has been hit dead centre here. Oak, fruit, acid and tannin all pull together. Excellent wine, builds its own landscape. Blackcurrant-like flavour, luscious, is slipped with coffee-cream, leather, cigars. Dusty, fruit-filled tannin winds its way through, inexorable, unhurried, a river flowing over smooth long stones. The longer you sit with it, the lower the price seems.

World Wine – “There are wines one sips and make notes and moves on to the next, then there are wines where the notes seem unimportant an intrusion into the thought process, a wine one wants to simply sip, clear thoughts out of the mind and meditate, this is such a wine, if that doesn’t convey the quality of this wine, any lexicon of words won’t 95 points and more to come as it ages $46 really is value” 95 Points | Tony Keys, The Key Report /
