Bilton Cabernet Sauvignon 2007

Name: Bilton Cabernet Sauvignon 2007
Brand: Bilton
SKU: 33386

The colouring of purple black lends to classic aromas of tobacco leaf, dark chocolate roasted coffee beans. This elegant wine has a sophisticated palate of wild berries, almonds and black truffles. The rich, rounded tannins confirms great ageing ability.

Superb with roast beef or a fine cheese selection.
