NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The Boekenhoutskloof The Chocolate Block is a robust and complex South African red blend.Aromas of dark fruits, spices, and a hint of dark chocolate fill the nose and lead to a palate of ripe blackberry, black cherry, and sweet oak. The finish is long and structured, with a lingering tannic grip and subtle notes of dark chocolate.
