Rustenberg Peter Barlow 2005

Name: Rustenberg Peter Barlow 2005
Brand: Rustenberg
SKU: 18686

A 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from our finest vineyard. Upfront perfume, intermingled with concentrated cassis, black cherries & some herbaceousness. This multi-layered wine is currently accessible, but will repay further cellaring.

"Rustenberg's Flagship red can often seem brusque and uncommunicative in its youth, but this 2005 is positively magnetic and it radiates charm. This epic initial balance points towards a very long and successful life ahead." - Matthew Jukes' Top 50 from Cape Wine 2008
