tasting notes
This classical Bordeaux style blend combines freshness with real concentration, showcasing the best of Stellenbosch. Intense notes of cassis, blackberries, cherries and thyme intermingle on the nose, along with hints of spice. The wine shows great complexity, with pure red and dark fruit on the palate followed through with tobacco and spice. Elegant tannins, fruit concentration & bright acidity gives the wine length and staying power.
