Zandvliet Kalkveld Shiraz American Oak Matured 2001

Limited Edition

Intensely red wine with a very good tint on the rim. Good integration of aromas of fruit and oak despite the more aggressive American oak. Probably thanks to very ripe fruit. Lots of liquorice and coaltar with sweet plums making the aromas very pleasant. Very nice balance of fruit, oak and acidity. Pleasant and persisting fruit flavours and of liquorice.
