2001 Cape Mentelle Cabernet Sauvignon

Totally opaque black crimson colour with deep black crimson hue. Aroma of tobacco and cedar followed by tea leaf, liquorice and blackcurrant endnotes. The palate is mouthfilling with flavours of cigar box and blackcurrant dominant followed by tobacco and dark chocolate. The tea leaf flavour components are well controlled and sit well in the background, although they are evident. Velvet tannins. Very long aftertaste of cedar, cigar box, tea leaf, spice and liquorice.
