Simonsig Tiara 2016
South Africa, Stellenbosch
Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot
Description
The flagship wine of Simonsig, this Bordeaux-style red blend exhibits a crimson red colour. The rich, perfumed aromas of spiced red cherry are alluring. Harmonious layers of ripe red cherry, raspberry compote, violets and a touch of pencil shavings. The wine is finely balanced with the fruit carefully supported by a well-judged use of oak. The tannins are round with a long, dry finish.
