A Very Elegant Diana Madeline.


A blend of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon and 14% Merlot that was matured for 14 months in French oak barriques of which 48% were new. The colour of this wine does not have the depth of the outstanding 2007. Deep crimson mauve colour with a crimson mauve hue. The nose is a little tight at first with aromas of cedar, mulberry, spice and tobacco slowly unfurling. Medium weight the palate displays a Bordeaux like elegance with flavours of mulberry, cedar, tobacco and spice followed by a hint of cigar box on the back palate. Very fine grained tannins, slightly dryish but in perfect balance. Long aftertaste of cedar, mulberry and spicy cigar box.
Alc 12.5%
