Description
In a nutshell:
A magnum of Meerlust's iconic Bordeaux blend, a full bodied Cabernet Sauvignon led classic.
The lowdown:
With a deep, youthful colour which is intense and almost purple in hue it has the characteristic Rubicon nose with fragrant violets, ripe plum, cedarwood and intense spicinesss. It's still quite young and certainly has plenty of further maturation potential. The palate is full bodied, structured but packed with fresh dark fruit and rounded, linear tannins. As well as the Cabernet Sauvignon the addtional Merlot and Cabernet Franc provide classic ripe cassis, morello cherry, tobacco and spice flavours. Grippy tannins provide structure to this class act and the characteristic South African smokiness rounds of the smooth lengthy finish.
When to drink:
A very impressive wine that fully lives up to its revered reputation.
