Another beautiful example of Hawkes AV cab. Nose: soft aromas of dark fruit and spice. Palette: Tart cherry, dark fruit - blackberry, plum, - fine tannins, high acidity, . A beautiful wine!

Blackberries, black cherry, cassis and some floral notes. Fresh and lively, this is drinking well early, and should age well for 10 years, or more. I have found that a number of 2015 Cabs are showing well right out of the box, and will be hard pressed to keep them around long.

I think this one has aged to just the right moment. Aromatic oak, plum and dark fruits with big but smooth tannins.

An exceptionally well made CS. Just doesn’t tickle my tastebuds. I’ve had this twice (18 months apart) and no real difference between them.
Too tart, too cherry. Aroma is nice, but a bit tart. Just like my CS a bit more dark, powerful and darker fruit.
Even after 30 minutes of decant and 2 hours of opening, it just didn’t tickle my buds.

2015 drinking well now, bright fruit on the nose, strawberries and cherries with a light vanilla and oak bouquet. Subtle tannins, and great mouth feel

Very aromatic, resinous with a dark fruit core and some cedar. Awesome tannins and reminiscent of Bordeaux. Delicious!!
