Nederburg Cabernet Sauvignon 2002

Colour: Clear, intense ruby red.
Bouquet: A delicious amalgam of eucalyptus leaf, wild berry, chocolate and mocha, tempered by soft oak vanillins.
Taste: Elegant in body but generous in flavour, it makes good drinking while young but can be enjoyed for at least seven years.

An ideal partner to robust dishes from pÃ¢tÃ©s to steaks, as well as full-bodied dishes such as beef stroganoff, winter stews, roasts and mature cheeses.
