This number from the much famed Meerlust stable has an intense and dark ruby red colour. On the nose it delivers huge concentrations of plum and hints of herbs. Taking a sip, it continues the ripe and concentrated fruit theme, with the slightest of herbs. Very savoury, with a great balance between high alcohol, acid and silky tannins. A long tail of plummy goodness.
