About this Item
De Toren Fusion V 2014 (1 x 3000ml)
De Toren Fusion V 2014 reveals pure aromas of fennel, blueberries and ripe cherries that alert the senses. This is supported by subtle hints of cedar and dark, bitter chocolate. The palate pleases with what the nose promised… pure fruit, berries and dried cherries are revealed, nuanced with complex flavours of aged tobacco leaf and cinnamon. Careful oak ageing delivers complex, vibrant and mature tannins that coat the mouth for a lingering, silky taste, lasting beyond the final sip in your glass. Enjoyment of this vintage will be multiplied with a few years of ageing in your cellar.
Mulderbosch Faithful Hound 2017 (2 x 1500ml)
The nose is full of brooding, earthy aromas – brambles, cocoa and forest floor. It clearly shows the Merlot contribution in the muted aromas compared to a more Cabernet dominant blend. Finely textured tannins and savoury flavours such as cured ham and dried porcini mark the palate. The 2017 is a wine of nuance rather than outright power. There’s plenty of depth of flavour, and the palate unfolds evenly, revealing a well-balanced, moreish blend. Given the quality of the vintage and the provenance of the fruit, this is definitely a vintage that will reward further cellaring. Only 300 magnums of this vintage were produced.
