From the celebrated 1999 vintage, this is Howard Park's flagship cabernet blend from the years before it was renamed Abercrombie: Great Southern cabernet sauvignon with merlot from Margaret River and Pemberton, given two years in French oak. James Halliday rated it 96 points. Still in the original sealed wooden box from release.
Rich, sweet crushed berry aromas and excellent oak lead into a palate bounding with red fruits, supported by convincing oak and tannin inputs. - James Halliday, Halliday Wine Companion (96 pts)
Critic Reviews
96 Points - James Halliday, Halliday Wine Companion
“From the wonderful 1999 vintage; 49 per cent Great Southern cabernet sauvignon, 24 per cent Margaret River merlot and 27 per cent Pemberton merlot; two years in French oak. Rich, sweet crushed berry aromas and excellent oak lead into a palate bounding with red fruits, supported by convincing oak and tannin inputs.”
