Robert Parker 93 points!The 1998 Cabernet Sauvignon Hickinbotham Vineyard reveals an opaque purple color and highly-extracted, massive size, but reveals a touch of mint in its black currant/cassis flavors. The acidity is low as well. This effort possesses a great degree of ripeness. Huge, chewy, and full-bodied, it is best drunk after another 1-2 years of bottle age. It should keep for two decades.
This immense, super-concentrated, muscular wine appears to mirror the personality and stature of proprietor/winemaker Roman Bratasiuk. Clarendon Hills produces some of my favorite Australian wines, and readers looking for flavor, personality, and pleasure, should seek out this limited production gem.
