Tasting notes
(13.2% alcohol; 50% new oak, all Taransaud): Good dark red. Musky aromas of blueberry, licorice, cocoa powder and black olive, plus a touch of Syrah-like funkiness. Much sweeter than the 2012 version but with lovely integrated acidity. These young Cabernet vines enjoyed the heat of 2013, 2014 and 2015, noted Reynvaan. In a clean, elegant style; not thick or fat but juicy and nicely done. And not at all hard on the finish.

Checking in as 100% Cabernet Sauvignon that spent 24 months in 50% new French oak, the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon The Classic offers a perfumed, slightly exotic bouquet of black currants, truffle, wild herbs and wet rocks to go with a medium to full-bodied, polished, elegant feel on the palate. It doesn’t have the mid-palate depth and richness I remember from barrel, yet it’s still a beauty that will evolve for 10-15 years.
