2006 Thelema Cabernet Sauvignon

Estate: Thelema Mountain Vineyards

Region: Stellenbosch, Coastal Region, South Africa

Tasting Note:December 22, 2016

Medium garnet red. Solid bell peppers on the nose, might be a little charred or even jalapeño with chalk. A little dirty too. Surprised with the power of this wine. Moderate tannins (6/10) and medium bodied. Solid minerality with a bit of forest floor. Truffles and iron too with balanced acidity. Medium plus finish and very well rounded. No reason to wait much longer on this.
