2013 Spottswoode, Cabernet Sauvignon, St. Helena 1x750ml

Vinous 98

The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon is just as monumental as it has always been. A big, vertical wine, the 2013 exudes concentration, depth and vertical intensity-from the very first taste. Swaths of tannin wrap around a core of dark fruit in this brooding Cabernet Sauvignon. Licorice, coffee and leather overtones add the closing shades of nuance. Explosive and riveting, the 2013 remains one of the finest wines ever made here. [Antonio Galloni, 21/12/2018]

Anticipated maturity: 2021-2038

Robert Parker 99

"The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon is deep garnet with a touch of purple and exudes pure black truffles on the nose to begin, slowly unfurling to reveal a core of black cherries, warm blackcurrants and plum preserves with suggestions of eucalyptus, tilled soil, chargrill and new leather. Medium-bodied with a great intensity of earth-tinged black fruits, it has a firm frame of grainy tannins and a long truffle-laced finish." [Lisa Perrotti-Brown, 29/10/2018]

Anticipated maturity: 2021-2050
