2009 Simonsig Stellenbosch Tiara 90+ Points
Color shows advanced evolution, for a 2009! Bordeaux left bank profiling, ripe cassis, blackcurrant, dark plums, earthy, cedar note, tobacco with graphite complexity, lean mineral profile, smoky, spicy, tight and fresh, near perfect alcohol of 13.5%, crunchy, savory, a great bargain for fans of quality Medoc red blends.
2009 was a blend of 76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot and 2% Malbec.
Now until 2022+
