TASTING NOTES
International Wine & Spirit Competition 2004 - Silver
Swiss International Air Lines Award 2004 - Silver
This Babylons Toren selection Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot blend came from low yielding, high density vineyards producing grapes with exceptional flavours of cassis, raspberry and tobacco. Extended skin contact and ageing in small French oak barriques have contributed added complexity via cedar and vanilla characters. Sheer fruit intensity and ample structure will allow this wine to gain further complexity in the bottle over the next ten years. Oaked: 14 mnths .
AGEING POTENTIAL
Can enjoy now or within next 7-10 years.
BLEND INFORMATION
72% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Merlot, 5% Shiraz
