Ernie Els Cabernet Sauvignon 2009 Stellenbosch
Producer: Ernie Els
Tasting Notes:
Available in cases of 6 only. This black-centered, beguiling and multi-dimensional Cabernet Sauvignon displays red rather than black fruits. Pencil shavings on the nose lead to a fresh entry and full-bodied succulent palate. A salty, savoury complexity with notes of graphite and tobacco overlay its modern, finely-tuned frame. The tannins are immense but polished, balanced by the vivid fruit of the wonderful 2009 vintage. Precise and varietally flawless, expect this brilliant Cabernet to have a serious future ahead whilst the tannins find their feet Independents Note: Ripe cassis vies with rich sloe and blackberry for dominance. The mid palate has dark chocolate rich deep voluptuous and sweet but all of this fleshiness is balanced by some freshness bilberry and elderberry with a liquorice coffee mix giving lots of complexity towards the back.
