Waterford Estate CWG Auction Reserve Stellenbosch BB 2009 87+ Points

Delicately ripe cassis, blackcurrant, blueberry, good purity of fruit with graphite and cedar wood, earthy, mineral core, fresh, savory and black olives note, high alcohol of 14.2% abv, elegant and pure, need time though quite feminine in profile, yet a little too commercial, safe, comfortable and simplistic to warrant higher score.
75% Cabernet Sauvignon and 25% Merlot
Winemaker: Kevin Arnold
