Beyerskloof Lagare 2008

A Port with a deep ink black colour. Red and sweet berry aromas in combination with purple fruits makes this wine burst with flavour on the nose. The alcohol and fruit combination is well balanced, which gives the wine good structure and a smooth finish. The intense middle, soft tannins and great finish ads to the sensation of the wine.
