Kanonkop - Stellenbosch Paul Sauer 2019
98/100

Robert Parker
"Composed of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Cabernet Franc and 11% Merlot, the 2019 Paul Sauer offers aromas of oaky pencil lead, turned earth and dark red and black fruit flavors on the nose before layers of oak spice and blackberry floral notes emerge. Medium-bodied, the wine is still youthful with a juicy, tannic edge, while succulent acidity and a pop of bright red fruit flavors radiate through the mid-palate. The finish is firmly tannic and needs a little time in bottle to find its rhythm. Give it two more years, and drink it over the next two decades." (Wine Advocate 2022)
