Hickinbotham 2013 Trueman Cabernet Sauvignon (McLaren Vale)

Country: Australia / Trueman
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon South Australia
Winery: Hickinbotham / McLaren Vale

Austere, tannic and chewy, this Cabernet could use a few years in the cellar. Classic mint and cassis notes are framed by cedar and vanilla, but the fruit comes through on the firm, dusty finish, a sign of positive things to come. Drink 2020–2030.
