This Cabernet blend honours the legendary Jack Mann contribution to Houghton, serving remarkable 51 consecutive vintages. The passion, creativity and unrelenting search of unique flavour of the great man is portrayed in the exceptional elegance, fruit flavour and power of this wine. With over a decade in bottle, the 2000's fruit intensity is in decline with the fine, soft tannins still balancing the palate for an excellent finish. A powerful yet complex wine with grace and generous style; befitting a legendary character.

Bright medium red with purple hue in colour; On the nose: pronounced Blackcurrant, crushed wet leaves and dark plums, bouquet of wild violet and a decent amount of almost wet tobacco oak. A full bodied wine that has great length on the palate with firm but refined tannins. Simply outstanding in its class.
