Personalised Hickinbotham Clarendon Vineyard the Peake Cabernet Shiraz 2020 14% 750ml

Aroma: The Cabernet shines aromatically with notes of blackberry pie and dark chocolate.

Palate: While the Shiraz fills the mid-palate with black plum and toasty oak. Fine tannins and balanced acidity contribute to an incredibly long finish. The Peake continues to honor the legacy of this iconic Australian blend.

Expert Review:

James Halliday- 96 Points, A nod to the Australian archetype with cabernet leading the way at 53% of the blend; yields oscillating across blocks between 3-5t/ha. Minimal messing about and assiduous attention to detail, as always. The shiraz adds sweetness and breadth to the Bordelais' austerity, imparting black plum, iodine, lilac and anise. The cabernet, clearly the authority with its chiselled countenance of currant, graphite and sage. A delicious meld. Sumptuous without being jammy. Taut, without being hollow. Extremely long.
