RRP (AUD)

Intense dark colour. The nose shows restraint, with deep underlying aromas of complex blue and blackberries and cedar aromas typical from Jonkershoek. The palate is nervous and fresh followed by fine, dense tannins. This is a wine built to last and early drinking would benefit with decanting.
