Houghton Gladstones Cabernet Sauvignon 2020
- Australia
- Cabernet Sauvignon
- ABV 13.5
- Zalto Denk'Art Bordeaux Glass
97 points - Wine Pilot “A wine that pays homage to Dr John Gladstones whose work was largely responsible for the development of Margaret River. This is right up there with any that have been made, coming from a vintage that was well suited to the variety. Leafy blackcurrant fruit with a graphite oyster shell nuance working with a sliver of black olive. It’s a substantial and powerful wine, yet there is elegance and poise that stems from the clever balance of fruit, oak and tannin.”
97 Points - Erin Larkin, Wine Advocate “The Gladstones Cabernet is always an impressive wine on release and ages slowly, like all good Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignons. Unfortunately, we, the drinkers, will not get the opportunity to taste any museum stock from Houghton, due to a tragic warehouse fire in 2019 that destroyed the vinous history of the house. So, to say that this 2020 Gladstones Cabernet Sauvignon is prettier and more red-fruited than the previous releases will only be provable by tastings that you conduct in the privacy of your own home. Suffice to say, this is all about pomegranate, pink peppercorns, cassis, tobacco leaf, saltbush, bay leaf and nori. This might be one of the greatest Gladstones on release that I have tried. Bravo Treacher, bravo.”
