The bouquet is that of pure blackcurrant fruit, mocha and lifted oak complexity. The palate is very full bodied showing a finely grained tannin structure, exceptional for the variety. The wine finishes with excellent weight and balance. This great red avoids the trap of excess primary fruit or too much extraction with the savoury notes that often follow. A truly fantastic wine showing why the Cabernet Sauvignons from the slopes of the Simonsberg mountain area of Stellenbosch are so sought after. Drink now to 2017. (94 points)
