Groot Constantia Gouveneurs Reserve 2015

Crafted by winemaker Boela Gerber, this distinguished Cabernet Sauvignon-led blend incorporates 10% Petit Verdot to create a wine of considerable complexity. The bouquet opens with blackcurrant leaf and fresh menthol notes, layered over a core of blackberry, cassis and black plum. Black tea, cigar box and leather spice add further dimension, intensifying gracefully on the finish. The palate reveals a smooth entry before firm, structured tannins emerge from the midpalate, providing elegant support to the wine's plush fruit character. A serious, well-balanced expression that rewards contemplation.
