Buitenverwachting' flagship red, named after Lars' iconic mother. A Bordeaux blend, led by Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, featuring small parts Cab Franc and Petit Verdot. Old school Cabernet Sauvignon, though. It takes us back to some of the traditional styles of Bordeaux and California. And while not either of those, as there's a slight lick of something that gives it away as South African, it's exceptional. It's concentrated with a decent amount of tannin that should help this age for another 10 years. But drinking this now is great. The nose, is just sublime, you could sip this all day long.
