Drinking so well right now! Classic South African terroir comes through in the aromatics and finish. Currants, spiced cherry, beef jerky, savory herb, campfire embers, this walks a tight line of balance and power!

Outstanding cab. Still some fruit and a good amount of tannins.

Excellent classic South African Cab. Earthy, mushroom, currant with a lengthy, savory finish.

Big nose with sweet notes of blackcurrant, cedar and spices. Medium body, rich fruit, young tannins, fresh acidity and long finnish. Will develop with some years.

De Toren is leeg dus op naar Boekenhoutskloof. Ook een heerlijk glas, prima drinkbaar nu. Met name de mooie zuren in deze wijn spreken mij aan. Topglas!
