Kanonkop Estate CWG Paul Sauer Simonsberg-Stellenbosch 2007 90 Points


Lots of new oak, flashy, Pauillac like with ripe blackcurrants and cassis, yet shows an impressive restraint on texture, some cedar wood and savory graphite, impressive purity with perfect extractions, fresh, delicate and elegant, the alcohol is high at 13.9% abv, but integrated, awesome cracker. Reminds me a lot of the Chateau Batailley style. Now until 2022+
Blend of 68% Cabernet Sauvignon – 17% Cabernet Franc – 15% Merlot
Winemaker: Abrie Beeslaar
