Hugh Hamilton 2005 The Villain Cabernet Sauvignon (McLaren Vale)

Country: Australia / South Australia
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
Winery: Hugh Hamilton / The Villain

Cassis and chocolate notes dominate, but there’s enough minty, eucalypt character to impart complexity, all framed by some firm, dusty tannins. Finishes long and mouthwatering; drink now–2015. Multiple U.S. importers.
