Remhoogte Estate Bonne Nouvelle Simonsberg Stellenbosch Cape Blend
Garnet with brown rim.
Clean, high intensity, super ripe dark red fruit, blackberry compote, dark plums, cassis, iron ore, earthy core with tobacco and cigar note.
Dry with concentrated fruit structure lending an impression of sucrosity, rich and powerful, low plus acidity, juicy, very very high alcohol of 15% abv noticeable, mouth coating ripe tannic structure, perhaps been opened too early ? but color shows evolution?
A meal in itself, quite challenging to pair with even the richest venison stew!
2004 was a blend of 62% Merlot, 32% Cabernet Sauvignon and 6% Pinotage, a total production of 84 barrels and was one of the last vintages made between Michel Rolland and Murray Boustred partnership.
