Scores + Notes
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. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate # 161
