Hartenberg Cabernet Sauvignon 2007

Deep black/red in colour. Truffle, forest floor aromas inter - mingled with cigar box and lead pencil notes. The palate shows juicy, rich red and black fruits, vanillin oak flavours and savoury, lingering tannins on the after - taste.

Independent Tasting Note
"...it has a ripe, well-defined bouquet with blackberry, black olive, cedar and sandalwood. The palate is well-defined with plump black toasty fruit on the entry, good acidity and impressive structure towards the cedar-infused, fig-tinged finish." Robert Parker (NM)
