Tenth wine tasted at Rust en Vrede with Coenie Snyman and the second vintage tasted of their flagship wine. This vintage is made up of 65% Syrah and 35% Cabernet Sauvignon. Aged for 18 months in 50% new French oak. Only 5,540 bottles produced.
Deep and dark purplish ruby red. Lush nose coated in dark cinnamon, lavender, brown sugar and blackberries. Heavy tannins (8/10) and full bodied. Similar palate with dark berries, sweet spices and a little woody. A bit spiced as well. Dry and long finish. Drink till 2039. (95+)
