Two Hands Aphrodite Cabernet Sauvignon 2005 750ml, Barossa Valley
The 2005 Aphrodite Cabernet Sauvignon has equalled the excellence of the 2004 vintage, scoring yet again 98 points from Robert Parker. This wine along with its predecessor is expected to stand tall into the 2030's.
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - 98 pts - The 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon 'Aphrodite'? presents a nose of toasty oak, smoke, pencil lead, black currants, and licorice. Full-bodied and layered, it is structured for extended cellaring. The tannins are present but well-concealed and there is more than ample fruit for balance. Give this big Cabernet 10-12 years in the cellar and drink it through 2035. - Oct 2007
James Halliday's Wine Companion - 94 pts - Lusciously rich and thick, very ripe blackcurrant confit topped with creamy oak and a drizzle of chocolate/mocha; a carefully engineered style. High-quality Date tasted 15 Mar 2008.
