Houghton Rockwall  2001 Cabernet Sauvignon – April 03

 

Wine tasted blind

 

Nose is dominated by multiple green aromas but there is some sweet fruit lurking underneath.

 

Mid weight intensity, the wine is well balanced with slightly creamy but still powder tannins, the wine is fault free and doesn’t have any jarring influences. Flavours of sweet blackcurrant black olives and mint dominate the palate. It can easily be drunk now and would go well with many foods. Rated as Acceptable.
