Matured carefully in oak and built around richness rather than sheer weight, it offers generous dark fruit, polished tannins and the kind of easy sophistication that makes South African Bordeaux blends such good value. The estate’s long-time wine consultant is Pierre Lurton (Chateau Cheval Blanc \u0026amp; Chateau d'Yquem) bringing a touch of Bordeaux pedigree to the blend.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTaste\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLayers of black cherry, cassis and ripe plum sit alongside notes of cedar, toasted spice and vanilla.
