Wine Review ๐๐ท
Another bottle and another round of wildly unqualified opinions.
El and Ash taste, score, and argue their way through the pour, serving honesty with a splash of chaos.
๐ท Bottle: 2018 Howard Park Leston Cabernet Sauvignon
๐๐ปโโ๏ธElโs Score: 18/20 โ โVery polished. Feels like this wine has a 10-year plan, a clean car, and has never once lost its keys. Cannot relate, but I respect it.โ
๐๐ปโโ๏ธAshโs Score: 18/20 โ โClassic Margaret River cab. Dark fruit, smooth finish and seriously solid โ no complaints from me.โ
๐ Verdict: A polished Margaret River cab that knows exactly what itโs doing. Smooth, steady and very easy to enjoy โ more โquiet confidenceโ than show-off, which works perfectly here.
