2015 De Toren Z
Region: Stellenbosch, Coastal Region, South Africa
Tasting Note:December 18, 2017
Second wine with Charles at De Toren. Set to be released in January 2018.
Deep ruby red with notes of cassis, mushrooms and dust on the nose. A touch green as well. Medium tannins (6/10) and medium plus bodied. Excellent structure and finesse on the palate with dark cocoa, red cherries, pepper and minerality. Long and lingering finish. Still a baby that will need a nice decant to open up.
Merlot led blend with around 53% Merlot then around 25% Cabernet Franc and the rest made up of Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec and Petit Verdot.
