Anthonij Rupert Blend 2015

Richly seductive with its mélange of black fruits, spice, tobacco leaf and a captivating floral hint on the nose. Those same opulent berry compote notes are apparent in the mouth: raspberry, blue and black berries with some violets and nutty spice reminiscent of toasted pecan and hazelnuts. Taut, focussed and reflective of an excellent vintage, the wine has yet to unfurl and show its true colours. It’s harmonious, graceful and richly textured with a lovely platform of oak, but will benefit from further ageing to reveal its complexity fully. Lengthy, impactful and memorable flavour.
