Bon Courage Inkará Cabernet Sauvignon 2003

A classic red from a noble cultivar; this complex wine features rich spicy flavors and smokiness on the nose. It is a finely balanced wine to suit every discerning palate and will achieve greater body and a more velvet feel with another two years of careful cellaring.

It calls for good quality meat dishes including steak, stews or a roast and can be enjoyed with a selection of cheeses.

AWARDS
Veritas Awards 2005 - Double Gold
Dave Hughes - Internationally acclaimed wine writer :
Another fine new introduction. Blackberry, cherry and herbs dominate big nose. Clean oak backing with hints of vanilla and spice. Big, rounded mouth with layers of developing flavour. Sweet fruit in abundance with lively, well-rounded tannins. Long sweet fruited, tannin backed, finish. Fairly accessible now but will well reward ¾ years and then will develop over another 5 to 6. Gorgeous wine that needs food and friends.
