drink-now2017 Anthonij Rupert, Protea Cabernet Sauvignon, Western Cape

Dark berry fruit, spice and brush of tobacco on the nose. Richly fruited palate - with cassis, black berries and plum to the fore. The tobacco and spice notes of the nose are also apparent, along with deep fruitcake flavours and hints of licorice. Gentle grip and backbone make for a beautifully supple, soft-textured wine but with good intensity, body and structure. Supple and generous with a deliciously long aftertaste.
