Veritas 2003 - Bronze
The wine is a clear ruby red with a youthful pink hue; the rim bright. It has a forward nose of the classical older style Cape Bordeaux blends: sweet-scented satsuma plum with cassis and herbs. Vanilla-oak has completely integrated with the luscious fruit. The wine has started to open up with grace and style. It is medium-bodied and elegant, with gentle fruit and firm, ripe tannins providing good textural contrast. The fruity character easily translates onto the palate which is tightly packed with juicy plum, cherry fruit and spicy wood.
Partner this wine with robustly-flavoured dishes such as beef olives, casseroled lamb, chicken in red wine, game, fish, creamy-sauce pastas and mild cheeses. Serve at 18ºC.
