Kaapzicht Steytler Vision 2006 (Cape Blend)

Very intense ruby deepening to an opaque heart; densely layered fruit enfolds tightly woven tannins and spicy oak with ease, creating a richly textured mouthful; delivers great pleasure already but has the poise and power to richly reward 4 to 6 years of cellaring.
Elsie Pels - Cape Wine Master

A definite food wine. Enjoy it with any of the following, but do not forget to include your friends!1. Rack of Lamb with rosemary roast potatoes.2. Rolled loin of Kudu.3. Selection of Cape Cheeses.
