An inky black wine with hints of fiery garnet on the rim; while the bouquet slowly unfurls with ripe apricot, dried peach, a mélange of mulling spices, fynbos, intense plum, black hedgerow fruits and hints of liquorice. Intense macerated black hedgerow fruits, sweet apricot, plum, vibrant allspice and cracked pepper combine with a lengthy finish with treacle, liquorice, fynbos and “meaty” notes. The wine is still very primary, with unyielding tannins, intense spice and vibrant fruit structure – the hallmark of a Boplaas Cape Vintage Reserve and promising many decades of enjoyment for those who can exercise patience
