2020 Cabernet Sauvignon Grand Klasse Reserve
Tasting notes
Deep ruby in color, this wine opens with ripe black cherries, plums, macerated blackberries, dried tobacco, black currant, orange rind and baking spices. Swirling brings forth red cherries, lilac floral notes, summer savory, cedar box, burnt brown sugar,graphite, and peppercorn. The mouthfeel is silky, with a dense core showing mid-palate,slightly chalky tannins and playful and abundant acidity. The palate expresses generous red and black fruits such as raspberries, blueberries and dark cherries, as well sandalwood, dried herbs and spice, with a finish that is grippy and lingering. This wine has great texture and personality. Drink now or age up to 15 years.
