Kanonkop Paul Sauer 2019

The saturated ruby colour is complemented by a dense and interwoven complexity of, tilled earth, nutmeg, bouquet garnie, with classic cedar and red- and black fruits. The wine remains classic, refined, with an elegant structure. The tannins are precise, and together with the clever use of new oak, creates the perfect backdrop to host the complex fruit spectrum. A long, and youthful finish.
