LOrmarins Cabernet Sauvignon 2003

This true South Afican example of Cabernet Sauvignon has a mature and complex bouquet of dark berry fruit and an elegant spice. Thanks to firm tannins and an excellent structure, this wine is beautiful for immediate consumption, though a further 4-6 yearsâ€™ maturation in the bottle will add to the enjoyment.

Well served with all roast beef cuts, steaks in every form, potroasts, saddle of lamb and ostrich.
