The Ambassador 2020
South Africa, Stellenbosch
Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon
Description
The classic blend of Cabernet Franc , Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, all matured for 24 months in new and 2nd fill small French oak barrels, is Beau Joubert’s flagship selection. Black currant and red cherries infuse elegantly with plum, mint and fruitcake flavours. Lingering on the back palate are subtle mint, leather and smoky, pencil shaving flavours. The stern oak maturation lends firm, yet smooth tannins and excellent structure to this wine. The intense fruit, grippy tannins and balanced acid make this extremely complex wine, wonderfully accessible now but also allows for 10 years of cellaring.
