Tasted at Poivre Noir in Kigali Rwanda. Good leafy Cabernet character with plummy Merlot notes rounding out a nice medium bodied claret.

Very bold flavor. Much more of an adult wine. Good with beef, or pot roast or cheese.

Erst rauchig mit Backpflaume und Brombeere, später kommt das typisch cabernet kirscharoma durch.
