2020 Babylonstoren Nebukandnesar Red Blend Western Cape

Winemaker Notes:  Notes of blackberries, dusty plums, and dark red fruit create depth on the palate and the finish is elongated by the scent of an open cigar box, pencil shavings, and vanilla. The well-honed tannins give this opulent wine structure beyond compare. Satisfying now, but will develop and unfold its many treasures over time. This beautiful Bordeaux style blend is 46% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 14% Cabernet Franc, 10% Petit Verdot, 5% Malbec. Can be enjoyed from the year of release ,with wonderful ageing potential of up to 10–15 years.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


Decanter - "Brooding, ripe dark blackcurrant, dakr cherries, liquorice, olive, cocoa, cedarwood, and mint. The wine is opulent and very extracted, yet well-balanced with generosity and fleshiness. The concentrated fruit is wrapped in polished tannins, with a well-balanced and very savory finish."
