Kanonkop Estate
Cabernet Sauvignon
Stellenbosch, Coastal Region, Western Cape, South Africa
Starting to hit its straps at 8 years old
Excellent Cab Sauvignon well balanced with integrated tannins and alcohol
Just so positive about the consistency and value of this wine over the last 30 years.
I first “found” this at Morton’s in HK in 1996 and it’s been a favourite ever since, always with a good NY cut or porterhouse!

Aging nicely and settled in its ways, another couple of years and it will hit its straps
Excellent vintage of an old favourite

Repeating earlier notes:
Deep ruby red colour with mouth filling creamy tannins predominantly blackberries with vanilla and hints of Cigar box plus some spices
Long dry lingering finish and aftertaste. Quite high alcohol at 14.8% but it’s not dominant
Classic style Cabernet - ageing nicely 😄

Very good (expensive gift from a friend!) South African blend - surprisingly cherry notes and oaked. Probably could have left it a year or so to drink but very much enjoyed on a sunny Welsh evening!
