Middelvlei Estate Momberg Stellenbosch 2010 59 / 80 Points



Garnet with brown rim, showing premature evolution.

Traces of brettanomyces evident, hence the score of 59, however for customers accepting and do not mind a little brettanomyces! in their wines, this is a solid 80 points! Dark very ripe red fruits, jammy with hints of raisin, earthy, leathery note, floral, cedar wood and hints of tobacco.

Dry with dash residual sugar, moderate plus acidity, fresh and savory with medium plus tannins, slight over extraction, very high alcohol of 14.5% abv carries through, full bodied and massive in structure.
