Vintage 2020
98 points
This outstanding wine is now sourced from Howard Park’s Leston vineyard in Margaret River. It’s such an elegant and refined cabernet displaying all the varietal integrity of blackcurrant, bay leaf and a minerally graphite black olive mix. A slightly chalky texture edges in to give the palate a structural feel while the tannins are aligned, contributing to its detail and palate length. There are many years in the cellar ahead for this puppy.

94 points Wine Pilot
A subtle change for Abercrombie in 2020, this vintage is exclusively sourced from Margaret River without any fruit from Mount Barker. It is quite a different expression, with powerful graphite, and gravel aromas enriched by thick layers of blackberry with a touch of cocoa, and new French oak never far away, topped by a layer of dried herbs. Quite classic in style, with meaty/chewy tannins over blackberry flavours with a faint whisper of peppermint. There is a sinewy, angular side to this wine right now which with obvious fruit power sets it up well for the long haul, although is far from peak.
