Rich bright deep red in colour. Refined on the nose with dark fruit, cherry tobacco, and truffle aromas. The palate is complex, but balanced and layers of dark fruit, hints of forest floor and toasty spice leading to a lingering graceful finish. Decanting recommended when opening young.
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)
Excellent with grilled ribeye steak. Classic match for richer savoury dishes, springbok fillet or black mushroom stroganoff.
