Boekenhoutskloof Cabernet Sauvignon Stellenbosch 2022

Rich, supple texture with a deep, concentrated hue. Complex, layered aroma that unfolds with gentle nuances. Ripe, luscious black fruit, blackberries, blueberries, and black plum, with whispers of medicinal, mint, and black currant leaf. Oak, cedar, charred wood, and smoke add depth, but pencil shavings, vanilla, and coconut provide a subtle, creamy texture. Tertiary tones of tobacco, earthy, forest floor, leather, and mushroom add complexity, with a dry, medium plus body that tapers to a long, pleasing finish.

Textured and exciting wine with a rich, bold, and long finish. The profile is highlighted by a well blended evenness of flavors, with a prominent anise note and a dry, tannic finish.

Luscious and layered wine with a deep, soft texture. The nose is described by a smooth evenness of sweet and savory notes, accompanied by black fruit, pepper, and fig jam. The flavor is layered with a variety of flavors, consisting of black currant, blackberry, and jam, which are expertly cohesive by a delicate cigar box and vanilla stick. The trail is long and satisfying, with a supple and smooth tannin backbone that belies the wine's impressive body and complexity.
