Angove Family Crest Cabernet Sauvignon 2018
HUON HOOKE - THE REAL REVIEW BUY OF THE WEEK - AUGUST 2020 - 92 POINTS
“With its dark red/purple colour, this is a powerful, assertive wine with lashings of tannin, and its body and
structure are well beyond what we usually get for $22. The bouquet is ripe and attractively varietal, with classic
violet, blueberry, mulberry and cassis aromas. It’s intense and powerful, rish and bright, with freshness, poise
and persistence. It needs food if broached now. An excellent wine of concentration and cellaring potential. The
price is hard to believe.”
HUON HOOKE - THE REAL REVIEW - AUGUST 2020 - 92 POINTS
“Deep red/purple colour. the bouquet is ripe and attractively varietal, with classic violet, blueberry, mulberry,
and cassis aromas, and these flavours re-appear throughout the palate. It’s intense and powerful, rich and
bright, with freshness, poise and real persistence. The tannins are ample and assertive while supple, ripe and
mouth-coating. It needs food if drunk now. Excellent wine of concentration and major cellaring potential. The
price is scarcely believable.”
Q-WINE STEVE LESZCZYNSKI - JUNE 2020 - 91 POINTS
“A big sturdy wine, it’s mouthfilling, drying and saps moisture leaving you puckering. A pretty cerise hue
greets the eye before dark chocolate coils itself around black fruits. Well balanced oak meshes with some
dried herbs and it’s that herby factor which hangs on and elevates my interest. Handy value and a scoop
purchase if you can find it under $20.”
