Franschhoek. South Africa
Intriguing fragrance of violets and thyme, intense blackcurrant and underlying cigar-box. Superbly crafted with good balance of vibrant multi-layered dark red fruits supported by tight, well-honed tannins. Handles the oak effortlessly. Opulent yet sophisticated with a long, compelling finish. Satisfying now, but will develop and unfold its many treasures over time. Pair with a Kudu fillet or roast lamb with thyme, rosemary and garlic; rare roast beef or fillet on the bone.
