2020 Howard Park Leston Cabernet Sauvignon

Eucalyptus, tobacco, black olive, dusty cocoa, and freshly ground coffee lay atop layers of rich red and black fruits forming a tantalising bouquet. Black currant, cherry, pomegranate and plum on the nose are mirrored on the palate complemented by savoury herbs, graphite, and black liquorice. The smooth, velvety fruit texture is balanced by a tart cranberry-like acidity and a pliable tannin structure. The fruit richness and opulence at the heart of this wine will only continue to develop with age, however, it is drinking wonderfully now.
