Niel Joubert Christine-Marié 2001

Michelangelo International Wine Awards 2003 - Gold
Ripe plums, dark cherries, cassis, mingle with sweet, spicy oak on the nose. Soft and ripe fruited mouth with well tuned tannins. All very accessible at this early age yet has lots of development to come. Flows with elegance, great balance, easy frame work. Fine, supple tannins.

Great wine for fine food.
