Description
Boekenhoutskloof’s winemaker Marc Kent is famous for his wines. This red blend show’s he’s no one-trick pony. Cabernet Sauvignon with just a dash of Cinsault and Syrah, this has been aged in French oak (30% new) for 14-16 months. Lush, with ripe blackcurrant fruit, spice and some creamy oak influence, there’s an appealing freshness to the wine, which makes you want to reach for a second glass.
Intense aromas of red fruit, and cassis dominate a fresh and inviting nose with whiffs ripe fig, nutmeg, clove and coriander. The warm baked-spice character of the nose follows through seamlessly onto a smooth palate with flavours of blueberries, ripe plums and liquorice. Cocoa powdery tannins and well-integrated lemony acidity add to the fine structure of the wine and its exceptional balance. The attractive finish of white pepper and red liquorice along with a subtle hint of herbes de Provence contribute to a clean refreshing finish.
Serve at 16-18 Deg.
