Vergelegen V, 2004

 

Coastal

750ml Bottle

The nose is complex, showing blackcurrants, cedar wood, lead pencil and cigar box aromas. These develop in the glass and are joined by raspberry, black cherry, spice and a hint of gaminess. On the palate the wine is concentrated but elegant, with fine-grained tannins. These tannins soften even further in the glass, resulting in a luxurious wine with a long aftertaste. 

"Still youthful and belligerent, 04V is a monolithic creation, but one that is up there with the world’s finest Cabernet blends." - Matthew Jukes' Top 50 from Cape Wine 2008
