Score 90/100 · Drink 2001-2009, Pierre Rovani, Apr 2001

The 1996 Rust En Vrede proprietary red is a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Shiraz, and 10% Merlot. It reveals gorgeous floral, blackberry, and sweet cherry aromas. This is a pristine, fresh, intricate wine, with a powerful raspberry attack that is followed by a beautifully etched, sweet blueberry and cherry character. It is elegant, defined, highly detailed, and immensely flavorful. Drink this outstanding wine over the course of the next 8 years. Importer: Southern Starz, Huntington Beach, CA; Tel. (800) 504-9463.

Red-ruby. Tarry oak dominates the nose; slight suggestion of green wood. Plump and ripe, with good sweetness and moderate complexity. But shows a faint dry edge that lingers through the oaky finish.
