Le Riche Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2019
South Africa, Stellenbosch
Cabernet Sauvignon
Super premium
Description
With a nose of the Cabernet family’s typical tomato leafiness over nuances of crushed rocks and warm sand. The palate is initially firm but relents to a wine of great purity and subtlety with notes of tomato, cocoa powder, hazelnut chocolate and star anise. Overall, a heady concoction somehow assembled into a seamless red of phenomenal quality.
