  58% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Shiraz and 11% Merlot
  Almost too intense with concentrated black fruits that were underpinned with very firm tannins, later developing a silky & creamy texture. Possibly, much too immature at this stage (and certainly over-extracted) to fully reveal its potential, but at present this was simply way over-the-top, lacking structure and balance. CHP 85 pts

  Jean Engelbrecht produit l’un des grands crus d’Afrique du Sud. Il est propriétaire de Rust en Vrede qui fût construit par les Hollandais en 1694. La cuvée »Estate» reflète l’encépagement du vignoble. Le vin est un assemblage aux mêmes proportions que les vignes qui y sont plantées. Il se présente avec une robe rubis. Un nez intense de mûre, de cassis, de vanille. Les saveurs sont intenses. La bouche est robuste, la finale longue sèche avec des tanins mordants. Il a passé 22 mois en fûts de chêne français à 40% neuf. Son passage en carafe lui a fait un grand bien et a assoupli les tanins. Rust en Vrede veux dire paix et tranquillité, en c’est temps difficile en Ukraine, boire du vin nous rappelle comment nous sommes libres, en paix et en tranquillité.

  Smakrik och len, bra balans, mörka röda bär, tobak, vanilj, god men ännu ung
