Muratie Cabernet Sauvignon 2001

Veritas 2003 - Silver
Deep ruby colour with intensive centre. Violets, blackcurrants, hints of cedarwood and cigar box character in the background of the nose. Great balance and integration of fruit and oak. The wine has a strong mid palate and offers a full, lingering aftertaste. A great potential to age gracefully.
