About this Item
Fusion V 2006
6 (1 x 6) 750ml
The iconic Left Bank based blend from De Toren. Named for the 'fusing' together of Bordeaux's five famous varietals (Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, Merlot and Malbec). The Fusion V celebrated its maiden vintage in 1999 and was introduced to the international markets. Under the guidance of Albie Koch this Bordeaux left-bank inspired blend has accumulated an energised and praised following from wine aficionados both in South Africa and abroad (especially in the US).

Critics Ratings
'Savoury intro - soy and balsamic. Concentrated, dry small dark berries, leaf spice, cigar box. Grippy tannins. Can keep longer.'- Higgo Jacobs (Feb 2021), 91/100
'Very plush, deep and classy. Lots of liquorice, chocolate and cherries. High alcohol but with good freshness to back it up. Suave and hedonistic. Drink now to 2030' - Roland Peens (Feb 2021)
'Glossy top-ranker, acclaimed both sides of the Atlantic. Coiled, smoky aura of 2006 offset by deft fruit weight; persistent tail underscores quality, echoing refinement. Yr 50% new Fr oak, tad Am.' Platter's SA Wine Guide 2009, 5*
