About this Item

2000 Cabernet Sauvignon
4 (1 x 4) 1500ml

This impressive Cabernet Sauvignon blends 'Old World' elegance with the full-bodied, fruit-driven character typical of wines from an area known as the golden Triangle. Named for its superior terroir, the Golden Triangle lies at the heart of Stellenbosch's reputation for producing South Africa's defining Cabernet Sauvignons.

Critics Ratings

'Gorgeous nose of sour cherry, cassis & tar. Showing some evolution in classical secondary Cabernet characters of cedar & cigar box, but with a good core of sweet, ripe red fruit. Medium body. Dusty tannins promising short term further ageing potential in large format (Magnum)' - 90/100 Higgo Jacobs
