"An aromatic 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, to drink or keep for years!"

"The Cabernet Sauvignon Stellenbosch 2020 has gorgeous oak aromas with fresh red fruit nuances. It's spicy with notes of cranberry skin and pencil shavings. The full-bodied palate offers a firm, rocky minerality that will need another year in bottle to blossom, but has good backbone and is made to last. A great success! 2024-2040" (Robert Parker 2023)

A concentrated, full-bodied Cabernet with aromas of blackcurrant, blueberry, bitter chocolate, cedar and sliced pepper. Delicious savory notes are also present. Well-structured, with firm, tight tannins and a polished core of black fruit. Long-lasting. For drinking or cellaring.
