Spottswoode Cabernet Sauvignon - 2001 (750ml) Yamaguchi Prefecture Serve *slightly* chilled alongside salumiA surprisingly strong effort, the 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon exhibits hints of black olives and tapenade as well as copious notes of creme de cassis, licorice and forest floor. Medium to full bodied and atypically concentrated for a 2011, this is another tour de force from Spottswoode that boasts beautiful fruit and a long finish. It should drink well for 8 12 years. Kudos to the Novack family! Robert Parker 90 points
