The nose intrigues with its aromas of black currant, dark cherry, graphite and exotic spice. The entry is smooth and subtle, with a firm, focused palate showing flavours of blackberry, perfumed black tea, oregano and hints of cedar.
The mid-plate is linear and elegant with exquisite structure and fine-grained, supple tannins. Vibrant yet integrated acidity and a charcoal-edged texture create complexity in an exceptionally balanced wine. Blueberry, pencil lead and bay leaf linger on a fresh, precise finish with hints of cocoa.
Bottle size: 750ml
The waiter accidentally gave us Boekenhoutskloof Stellenbosch Cabernet Sauvignon, when we were at Marble restaurant - quite a fancy place in Rosebank JHB-. I found the wine delectable. So I ordered three bottles. Tasting it at home I did not find it as rewarding. A good wine for sure. Please note I am not an expert at all. I am judging the wine according to its price. Is that fair?
Kind regards.
