Kanonkop, Cabernet Sauvignon, Stellenbosch, 2005

Tasted by: John Stimpfig
Drinking Window: 2015 - 2017
Very deep colour for a ten year old wine and no lack of primary fruit on the powerful nose. This is a forceful, dense and structured Cabernet which is only just entering its prime. Plush tannins, ink, mocha, black fruit, some sous-bois, tea leaf and a mineral edge combine to make this a stand out wine by one of the Cape’s greatest and most classical producers.
