    Anthonij Rupert 2012 Vinified and Bottled on Lormarins Cabernet Sauvignon (Franschhoek)

    This suave, seductive wine opens with forward aromas of black currant, blackberry and mentholated plum that are hit by green, earthy tones of tobacco leaf, licorice root and flower stem. The palate is full and lush, with rich and opulent dark-fruit flavors that are framed by bold, structuring tannins and lifted by ample acidity, as well as pronounced oak and licorice spice tones. It's harmonious and balanced, with all the components strong and upfront. A complete and delicious wine now, enjoy through 2026.
