2009 Berlin Wine Trophy - Best Barrel Aged Red Wine over EUR10
2008 John Platter **** 1/2 stars - 'Highly regarded bordeaux blend.' A Cape 'celebrity' wine.
The Veenwouden Classic 2004 has a dense, saturated purple colour with an aromatic offering of liquorice, violets and crushed dark mulberry. This is followed on the palate by cassis, a hint of espresso roast and lead pencil. This full-bodied wine exhibits terrific extract with ripe tannins, exquisite balance and long supple velvety finish.
This wine will go well with: Roast lamb or beef, casseroles, stews, lanb chops, steak with blackcurrant juice or mushroom sauce.
