The pinnacle of Cabernet Sauvignon winemaking for Hardys, the 2014 Thomas Hardy is a fitting tribute to this legendary character.

You'll be greeted with a rich tapestry of aromatics of sweet plum, mint & mulberry fruits with cloves & nutmeg spice adding interest. French oak maturation has resulted in subtle cedar wood notes.

Densely flavoured palate full of ripe satsuma plum flesh & bright mulberry fruits abound. Rich & with powerful yet beautifully balanced structure with complexing oak spice & sweetness. The palate finishes with persistent lingering flavour & mouth-watering acidity. A wine made of immediate appeal, it also possesses a pedigree of great cellaring potential.

 97 POINTS -James Halliday Wine Companion 2021 "The bouquet provides a perfect idea of what is about to follow on the full-bodied palate: towering blackcurrant fruit with bay leaf, black olive and earth all dripping from the fruit where they meet implacable tannins and a poultice of French oak."
