Score 90/100 · Drink 2005-2013, Robert Parker, Oct 2005

The 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon Cyril Henschke (65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Cabernet Franc, and 15% Merlot) exhibits a Bordeaux-like austerity as well as aromas and flavors of tobacco smoke, licorice, spice box, red currants, black currants, and sweet cherries. With an elegant, bright, zesty personality, it will drink well for 7-8 years. Importer: Negociants, USA, Napa CA; tel. (707) 259-0993

(includes some cabernet franc and merlot) Deep, bright ruby.Sweet cherry, redcurrant, clove and a subtle cigarbox quality on the nose, lifted by floral scents of violet and rose.Fresh and bright in the mouth, emphasizing bright cherry, licorice, black walnut and tobacco, with assertive oak spice.Chewy tannins on the finish provide a solid frame for this chunky, old-school cabernet.
