Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, August 2003

The blockbuster 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon Hickenbotham Vineyard exhibits tremendous color saturation to the rim along with scents of melted licorice intermixed with new saddle leather, creme de cassis, and spice box. Dense and full-bodied, it is the finest Cabernet Sauvignon Hickenbotham I have tasted from Clarendon Hills. It will be approachable at an earlier age than the 2001. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2025.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, October 2004

The 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon Hickinbotham Vineyard may be the finest Cabernet I have yet tasted from Clarendon Hills. While stunning from barrel, it is even more prodigious from bottle. An explosive bouquet of creme de cassis, melted licorice, new saddle leather, cedar, and Asian spices is followed by a full-bodied, marvelously concentrated effort that tastes like an Australian version of the profound 1990 Lynch Bages. Huge, concentrated flavors inundate the palate. The wine is seamlessly constructed with a brilliant integration of acidity, tannin, and wood. This fabulous, explosive Cabernet Sauvignon should be at its finest between 2008-2020+.
