Boekenhoutskloof Cabernet Sauvignon

The nose is opulent, rich and ripe, offering intense aromas of brambles, mulberry, dark cherries and classic cassis. The abundant red and blackberry fruit of the nose follows through with spicy notes of nutmeg, cinnamon and cloves, with hints of molasses, espresso and fine cocoa adding to the complexity of a layered, generous, powerful palate. The medium-bodied mid-palate is structured and concentrated, yet supple, elegant and lithe with its abundance of pure, lush, poised fruit, balanced with mouthwatering, bright acidity and ultra-fine, polished tannins. The wine finishes dry and focused, with cigar box, pencil lead and charry tobacco lingering.
