Backsberg Klein Babylonstoren 2005

Klein Babylonstoren is a specially crafted cuvée on the basis of varietal intensity and character. Violets, cassis and dried herb aromas form a complex bouquet hinting at the palate's awaiting intensity. Flavours of blackberry and earthy forest floor elements are neatly meshed by fine, ripe fruit tannins that finishes dry with oak derived characters of cinnamon and vanilla. Rich yet structured, this wine will repay careful cellaring over the next ten years.

This blend matches classic evening meals such as roast beef or lamb.
